NSSDCA ID: 1979-007A-10
Mission Name: STP P78-2The plasma probe experiment (SC6) measured the electron and ion densities in the range 1.0E-1 to 1.0E+4 per cu cm, ion and electron temperatures in the range 0 to 100 eV, and vehicle potential in the range -100 to +100 volts. The sensors consisted of three planar gridded probes, two mounted on a 3-m insulated boom and the other mounted on a conducting surface.
