The Solar Wind Electrons Alphas and Protons (SWEAP) Investigation on Probe Plus is a four sensor instrument suite that provides complete measurements of the electrons ionized helium hydrogen constitute bulk solar wind coronal plasma. SWEAP consists Cup (SPC) Analyzers (SPAN). SPC Faraday looks directly at Sun measures ion electron fluxes flow angles as function energy. SPAN an electrostatic analyzer (ESA) ram side SPP (SPAN-A) ESA anti-ram (SPAN-B). SPAN-A has time flight section enables it...
The Electric Fields and Waves (EFW) Instruments on the two Radiation Belt Storm Probe (RBSP) spacecraft (recently renamed Van Allen Probes) are designed to measure three dimensional quasi-static low frequency electric fields waves associated with major mechanisms responsible for acceleration of energetic charged particles in inner magnetosphere Earth. For this measurement, instrument uses pairs spherical double probe sensors at ends orthogonal centripetally deployed booms spin plane...
The Solar Probe Cup (SPC) is a Faraday instrument onboard NASA's Parker (PSP) spacecraft designed to make rapid measurements of thermal coronal and solar wind plasma. in heliocentric orbit that takes it closer the Sun than any previous spacecraft, allowing be made where plasma being heated accelerated. SPC was pointed directly at all times, (which flowing primarily radially away from Sun) measured throughout orbit. capable measuring ions with an energy/charge between 100 V 6000 (protons...
Abstract. One of the primary objectives Double Star mission is accurate measurement magnetic field vector along orbits two spacecraft. The an essential parameter for understanding space plasma processes and also required effective interpretation data from other instruments on We present design instrument onboard both spacecraft overview performance as measured first on-ground then in-orbit. report results in-flight calibration magnetometers, processing methods employed to produce final...
Electrostatic analyzers of different designs have been used since the earliest days space age, beginning with very solar wind measurements made by Mariner 2 en route to Venus in 1962. The Parker Solar Probe (PSP) mission, NASA's first dedicated mission study innermost reaches heliosphere, makes its thermal plasma using a suite instruments called Wind Electrons, Alphas, and Protons (SWEAP) investigation. SWEAP's electron Analyzer (SPAN-E) are pair top-hat electrostatic on PSP that capable...
Background: Chloroprocaine has recently regained accessibility as a short-acting local anesthetic in Canada. It offers an alternative to bupivacaine, the predominant spinal used at Vancouver Coastal Health sites Vancouver, British Columbia. Objective: To compare recovery profile of surgical patients who received either chloroprocaine or bupivacaine for anesthesia. Methods: This multicentre retrospective cohort study involved adult short-duration surgery. The primary outcome was time from...
THEMIS, a five-spacecraft constellation mission to study magnetospheric phenomena leading auroral outbursts was launched on February 17, 2007 single Delta II rocket into 31.4-hour, low-inclination insertion orbit. After an initial on-orbit check-out and science instrument commissioning period, the five spacecraft called probes were maintained in temporary coast phase orbits control orbital dispersions. Beginning early September 2007, four of maneuvered their highly elliptical, synchronized...
