Mission Name: ISEE 3This experiment was designed to study spectra and anisotropies of interplanetary and solar electrons (2 to 1000 keV) in the transition energy range between solar wind and low-energy cosmic rays. The electrons were measured by a pair of passively cooled, surface-barrier, semiconductor-detector telescopes (approximately 15 keV to approximately 1 MeV) and by a hemispherical plate electrostatic analyzer with channel-multiplier detectors (2-18 keV). Counting rates were sectored into angular sectors about either the magnetic field or the sun direction. The telescope yielded 8 or 16 sectors and the analyzer yielded 16 sectors.
