1. GENERAL INSTRUMENT DESCRIPTION
The principal investigator for the PhotoelectronSpectrometer experiment (Ref. 1) is Dr. J. P. Doeringof The Johns Hopkins University Department of Chemistry;Dr. C. O. Bostrom and J. C. Armstrong of the AppliedPhysics Laboratory are coinvestigators. The experimentis similar to those used by Doering et al. (Refs. 1 and 2)on sounding rocket experiments, but modifications are in-corporated that make the instrument suitable for satelliteuse.
SCIENTIFIC OBJECTIVES
The objective of the experiment is to provide infor-mation about the intensity, angular distribution, and energyspectrum of low-energy electrons in the thermosphere.The instrument measures electrons with energies from 2to 500 eV. Two high-resolution modes allow detailed ob-servation of electrons with energies between 2 and 100 eVand between 2 and 25 eV. This capability is particularlyvaluable, since there are no data about the electron dis-tribution below 10 eV.
Electron fluxes between approximately 105 and 109electrons cm- 2 s-1 sr-leV- 1 are measured at altitudes aslow as 130 km. The experiment sweeps through a 64-stepenergy ramp in 1 second; consequently at a 1 RPM (revolu-tion per minute) satellite spin rate, a single energy sweepis completed within 60 of satellite rotation. At faster spinrates, the experiment sweeps through a 16-step energyramp in 0. 25 second, so that adequate angular resolutionis maintained.

INSTRUMENT CONFIGURATION AND OPERATION
The Photoelectron Spectrometer contains two identi-cal electron detectors (sensor assemblies) and one controland data-handling package (main electronics assembly).Sensor No. 1 is mounted on the satellite upper baseplateapproximately 200 off the +X axis, as shown in Fig. 1.Sensor No. 2 is mounted on the main electronics assemblyand secured to the upper baseplate approximately 200 offthe -X axis. The sensors protrude through the spacecraft'sthermal blanket and solar panel and are rotated so that thesensor field of view is not obstructed by the spacecraft sur-face. In this configuration the sensors are capable of moni-toring simultaneous electron activity in both directionsalong the geomagnetic field lines.
In order to avoid shadowing of electrons by thespacecraft, the sensors should be as close to the space-craft's upper (or lower) surface as possible (Ref. 3). Asa mechanical configuration compromise, the sensors areelevated from the upper baseplate by 5. 5 inches, resultingin a vantage point 6 inches below the spacecraft's uppersurface.
Sensor Assembly
Each sensor contains a concentric hemisphere elec-trostatic analyzer, an electron multiplier and its associatedhigh-voltage bias supply, and analog electronics, includinga preamplifier, amplifier, discriminator, and rate limiter.Figure 2 is a block diagram of the sensor.
Electrostatic Analyzer. Electrons enter the elec-trostatic analyzer via a 90 by 200 collimator. If the voltagedifference between the hemispheres is AV, electrons withenergy of approximately 2AV will be bent in a semicirclebetween the hemispheres and will strike the electron multi-plier. Electrons with energy of less than 2AV are collectedon the inner hemisphere, and electrons with energy of morethan 2AV are collected on the outer hemisphere.

A ground plane is provided near the collimator en-trance to reduce the effect of the spacecraft electric fieldson the electrons' trajectories prior to their entering theanalyzer. After entering the analyzer, the electrons re-main subject to path distortion because of magnetic fields,including those generated by the spacecraft and the earth;therefore the hemispheres are enclosed with magneticshielding material. The highly permeable shields arecomposed of 80% Ni, 15% Fe, and 5% Mo and are a mini-mum of 0. 030 inch thick. Joints are overlapped and inintimate contact, and holes in the shield are minimized.A Helmholtz coil used to test the effectiveness of the shieldindicated that a field strength of 7 gauss could be appliedalong the most susceptible axis before particle data wereseriously compromised. The shield of the electron gun(used as the particle source) may have become ineffectiveat the higher field intensities, and therefore 7 gauss is theminimum upper useful limit of the flight magnetic shield.
Distortion of the magnetic field in the vicinity ofthe instrument muddles a clear interpretation of the ap-parent measured electron energy and angular distribution.A field of several hundred gamma may in fact distort thedistribution of low-energy electrons entering into the in-strument field of view. Consequently a great deal of atten-tion has been given to the problem of assuring a magneti-cally clean spacecraft. This will be discussed in detail inlater reports concerning the reduction of scientific data.
If ultraviolet light is allowed to pass through theanalyzer into the electron multiplier, the light will causecounts that are indistinguishable from electron counts. Toreduce this possibility, holes are cut in the outer hemi-sphere to baffle the light. Secondary electron emission iscollected on an electron trap composed of a copper platebiased at +50 volts.
The baffle hole in the exit portion of the electro-static analyzer is a convenient opening for f particlesfrom a Ni-63 radioactive source. These 0 particles pro-vide a known background count to calibrate the electron

multiplier gain. The nominal calibration count rate is 2to 3 per second, which exceeds the estimated cosmic raybackground count of less than 1 per second.
Electron Multiplier. After the electron emergesfrom the electrostatic analyzer, it strikes the first dynodeof a 20-stage Johnston Laboratories focused mesh electronmultiplier (MM-1-5NG). The screen of the multiplier isbiased at 9% of the total multiplier voltage and is used toaccelerate the electron to an energy sufficient to producesecondary emission upon contact with the first dynode ofthe multiplier. Each subsequent dynode liberates addi-tional electrons, resulting in a nominal gain of 106 for amultiplier bias voltage of 3000 volts (screen voltage of270 volts). Increasing the bias to 4500 volts raises thegain to about 109. One should note, however, that theseare average gain values, and the multiplier actually dis-plays a rather broad pulse height distribution that must beconsidered during calibration of the instrument.
The electron multiplier is housed in a compartmentseparated from the other electronic circuits and kept freeof materials that may degrade the exposed multiplier.Only the necessary bias and filter components are mountedwith the multiplier.
Electron Multiplier Bias Supply. As the electronmultiplier operates, degradation occurs in the final dynodestages because these stages emit the greatest number ofelectrons per pulse. The resulting loss in multiplier gainis offset by the use of a commandable bias supply. Initiallythe multiplier is biased near the minimum bias supply out-put of 3000 volts. The bias is increased upon command asrequired in seven equal increments to a maximum outputof 4500 volts.
Analog Electronics. The charge output of the elec-tron multiplier is collected at the input of a charge-sensi-tive preamplifier. Two pulse shaping and amplifyingstages, a discriminator, and a rate limiter follow the pre-amplifier.

APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORYSILVIE SPRING. MARYLAND
Experimental results show that a discriminator set-ting of 105 electrons is adequate to produce a counting effi-ciency of approximately 80% at a bias supply setting of3200 volts when the multiplier is new.
Bipolar pulse shaping is used with a zero crossingtime of about 0. 5 As in the unsaturated mode, resulting inamplifier rate limiting of about 2 million pps (particles persecond). The buffer circuit is rate-limited so that the maxi-mum electron count rate from the sensor is nominally250 000 pps.
Main Electronics Assembly
The main electronics assembly houses the circuitsthat produce the required sensor signals including power,hemisphere sweep voltages, and high-voltage commands.
The main electronics circuits also adjust the ex-periment operating mode, calibrate the hemisphere deflec-tion sweep supply, accumulate the sensor output pulses,monitor housekeeping items, and handle data going to andfrom the spacecraft subsystems. All PES/spacecraft elec-trical interfaces are made through a 50-pin connectormounted in the main electronics assembly. Figure 3 is ablock diagram of the main electronics assembly.
Deflection Sweep Supply. The PES electrostaticanalyzer selects electrons with energy of 2AV if AV voltsare applied across the hemispheres. However the electron
Senters the analyzer on a zero-potential electric field linewith respect to the spacecraft chassis. Therefore the ratioof hemisphere potentials must be carefully selected to main-tain the electron path at zero potential so that the electronwill travel in a smooth semicircle between the hemispheres.It has been determined (Ref. 4) that for the PES analyzerdimensions, a 500 eV electron requires +140. 35 volts ap-plied to the inner hemisphere and -109. 65 volts applied tothe outer hemisphere.
The deflection sweep supply is a digital/analog(D/A) converter that produces synchronized positive andnegative linear ramps with maximum voltages of +140. 4and -109. 6 volts. The ramps contain 64 steps and have

commandable gain networks that provide for a selection ofone of three sweeps with maximum sweep energies of 500,100, or 25 eV. Consequently the theoretical analyzer reso-lution is 25 eV/63- 0.4 eV. Local electric and mag-netic fields, however, limit the practical resolution toabout 2 eV.
Experiment Operating Modes. The three deflectionsweeps are used in combinations that produce five energyrange operating modes (see Fig. 4):
1. In Mode I, all three ramps are used, with the25 eV ramp being used 50% of the time and theremaining time being equally shared by the100 and 500 eV ramps.
2. In Mode II, the 25 and 500 eV ramps are alter-nated.
3. Modes III, IV, and V use single ramps withpeaks of 25, 100, and 500 eV, respectively.
In addition to the five energy range modes, thereare fast and slow modes. When the satellite spin rate isless than approximately 4 RPM, the deflection sweepoperates in the slow mode in which there are 64 voltagesteps and 64 data words per ramp, as shown in Fig. 5.At higher spin rates, the deflection sweep operates in thefast mode in which there are still 64 steps per ramp butonly 16 data words per ramp; i. e., each data word con-tains data from four steps on the ramp (see Fig. 6).
The PES is allotted four main frame telemetrywords for sensor (particle) data. These words may beused to transmit any of the following information:
1. Sensor No. 1, particle data only;
2. Sensor No. 2, particle data only;
3. "Sensor Alternate, " in which particle data aretaken alternately from each sensor at 4-secondintervals; and

4. Deflection sweep calibration data, an 8-second
sequence, initiated by command, which mea-
sures and transmits the deflection sweep volt-
age at each step of the deflection sweep ramp.
Command System. The PES uses three relay pulsecommands, a logic pulse command, and a 12-bit logic com-
mand word.
One relay is in series with the 16 volt power line
to each of the two electron multiplier bias supplies. Con-
sequently either or both high-voltage supplies may be
turned off without affecting the operation of the rest of the
instrument. Since the 16 volt power comes from the PES
main converter, neither high-voltage supply can be turned
on unless the PES power is on.
The deflection sweep calibrator precludes particle
counting during the calibration sequence. As a safety pre-
caution, a relay is used to "enable" power to the calibra-
tor. If the calibrator fails in the active condition, the re-
lay is used to disable the calibrator power and thereby re-
turn the instrument to the particle counting mode.
In normal operation, the calibrator is enabled, but
the 8-second calibration sequence does not occur until the
cal initiate logic pulse command is sent.
The 12-bit PES logic command word is (in space-craft terms) part of the PES minor mode command word.
The word is used to make adjustments in the operatingmode of the instrument and covers the following items:
1. Three bits select the operating voltage of the
sensor No. 1 bias supply.
2. Three bits select the operating voltage of the
sensor No. 2 bias supply.
3. Three bits select one of the five energy rangemodes.
- 15 -
THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORYSILVER SPRING. MARYLAND
4. One bit selects fast or slow operation.
5. Two bits select data from the desired sensoror select the "Sensor Alternate" mode.
PES Data System. The PES digital data system con-sists of four 12-bit accumulators and four 12-bit temporarystorage registers. Each accumulator counts for one-fourthof a spacecraft main frame. At the beginning of each newframe, the data are parallel-transferred into temporarystorage and the accumulators are reset. Data are read outone frame after they are accumulated. This sequence issynchronized with the spacecraft telemetry system and isindependent of the operational mode of the experiment.Figure 7 illustrates the data system timing.
Data are transferred to temporary storage withinthe PES data system at the beginning of each frame. Par-ticle counting at this time is inhibited for 350 Cjs, which notonly allows adequate time for data transfer but also allowsadequate time for the sweep supply to return to zero at theend of its sweep.
Housekeeping. The PES is allotted six analog wordsthat are read every 8 seconds.
The PES signal ground and the 5 volt output fromthe secondary of the PES converter are monitored to verifyoverall instrument integrity and to indicate any offsetbetween the PES signal ground and the spacecraft ground.The 5 volt monitor is attenuated to 4 volts in order for thevoltage to fall within the range of the spacecraft A/D con-verter.
Two analog words are transmitted to indicate thevoltage applied to each electron multiplier. The signal isattenuated 1000:1, so that a 3 volt reading indicates anapplied bias of 3 kV.
Each PES sensor contains a thermistor that issecured with epoxy in an aluminum housing and mounted to

Table 1 compares nominal voltage out of the bufferwith temperature within the sensor. Assuming a 5 ± 1 MOload, the voltage error caused by loading uncertainty is± 0. 04%, which is small compared with the design goal of1%. If either of the redundant outputs is shorted to ground,the voltage at the remaining output must be multiplied by1. 196 in order to use the table.

DC/DC Converter. The PES main converter re-ceives power from the -24. 5 volt regulated spacecraft busand converts this to power at voltages between -130 and+160 volts. The converter features input current limiting,foldover current limiting, and an overvoltage protectioncircuit.

There is no DC line regulation since the spacecraft'sregulation of 2%0 is adequate for most of the PES require-ments. Only the 10. 000 volt calibrator reference voltagerequires additional regulation.

Counting Rate
The preamplifiers are designed to rate limit at250 000 pps. The actual output count rate versus inputparticle rate for each sensor is somewhat lower becauseof interaction between the discriminator and buffer circuits.A rate calibration is presently being done at JHU, andcurves will be available for each sensor.

Thermal Analysis
The PES main electronics assembly is entirelywithin the spacecraft and will exhibit a temperature that isvery similar to the upper baseplate temperature (nominally+16 0C).
A 22-node mathematical thermal model** was usedto estimate the temperature variations in the PES sensor.During the aerodynamic heating caused by the spacecraftspinning at 1 RPM in a 120-km perigee, 3800-km apogeeorbit, the PES sensor outer metal parts (far removed fromany electronic parts) will reach a temperature as high as+54*C. The temperature of the main sensor structuralmember, which holds the electronic subassemblies, risessmoothly from +160 to +30 0 C, as shown in Fig. 11.
*Recent spacecraft measurements indicate that all tem-peratures in this section should be increased by about100C (including Figs. 11 and 12).

2. CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ELECTRON MULTIPLIER
The PES electron multiplier is a MM-1-5NG focusedmesh type manufactured by Johnston Laboratories. It is a20-stage secondary emission electron multiplier and usesactivated copper-beryllium dynodes, each of which has manycusp-shaped surfaces separated by holes. A cross-sectionalview is shown in Fig. 13. Attached to all dynodes except thefirst is a guard plate with many holes exactly aligned withthe points of the cusps. Adjacent dynodes are separated byceramic insulators and connected electrically by 5 MQ inter-dynode resistors. The first dynode differs from all theothers in that it has a very fine, high-transmission meshplaced in front of it. This mesh is biased positively withrespect to ground via a 10 MQ resistor and negatively withrespect to the first dynode via a 1. 5 MQ resistor. Thusparticles are accelerated from the analyzer toward the firstdynode with a net voltage of:
11.5 MDxV 0. 1 V
R BMQ bias ~ biasB
where RB is the total bias resistance of 112. 8 MQ, includingfilter and protection resistors. For example, if 4000 voltsbias is applied, the electron energy is increased by 400 eVbefore it strikes the first dynode. Since the grid is nega-tively biased with respect to the first dynode, the secondaryelectrons are driven toward the second dynode, and so on.
The bias and filter resistors are located on a Vespel-1board mounted at the anode end of the multiplier (see Fig.14). R4 and C3 make up the final stage of a three-sectionRC filter that reduces the ripple on the bias line to lessthan 0. 5 mV. The first two filter stages are in the biassupply. R3 is part of a voltage-limiting circuit that pro-tects the preamplifier input stage from damage caused by

arcing. The remaining limiting components are on the pre-amplifier board mounted in a separate compartment con-taining no high voltages.
ANALOG ELECTRONICS
The PES analog electronics* consists of a charge-sensitive preamplifier, a pair of amplifiers, a voltage dis-criminator, and an output buffer, as shown in Fig. 15.
Preamplifier
The preamplifier collects the charge appearing atthe electron multiplier anode and produces a voltage out-put proportional to the magnitude of charge collected.Coupling between the multiplier and the preamplifier isthrough a 6 kV, 860 pF capacitor.
A network containing CR1, CR2, RI, and a resistormounted with the electron multiplier is used to protect thepreamplifier input transistor from damage caused bycorona discharge in the multiplier compartment.
The basic components of the preamplifier circuitare a field-effect transistor, Q1, driving a common basestage, Q2, with the collector load bootstrapped by an emit-ter follower, Q3. The value of the feedback capacitor, C3,establishes the preamplifier sensitivity at approximately30 nV per electron. The overall current drain is 2. 2 mAfrom the +6 volt supply and 0.8 mA from the -6 volt supply,or 18 mW total.
Pulse Amplifiers
The output signal from the preamplifier is processedby a cascaded pair of pulse amplifiers before being applied
The analog electronics circuit design was done by S. A.Gary (Ref. 6).

to the pulse height discriminator. The amplifiers arehybrid integrated circuits with decoupling and feedbackelements connected externally. Figure 16 is a schematicdrawing of the internal circuitry for these amplifiers.
Both amplifiers are connected in a noninvertingconfiguration (see Fig. 15) with a DC feedback ratio of 23(determined by R13, R14, R18, and R19). Inputs to eachstage are through RC differentiation networks (C7, R9 andC13, R15) having equal time constants of 220 ns. The firstamplifier stage contains a capacitor, C12, in parallel withthe feedback resistor to yield a single integrating timeconstant at 220 ns. Dynamic stability considerations re-quire the compensation capacitor, C9, in the integratingstage.
The recovery time for return of the amplifier towithin the system noise level is 3. 0 As for a signal of 107electrons and 3. 5 As for 2. 0 x 107 electrons.
Power consumption for the amplifier pair is 3. 8mA from each of the supply voltages, or 45 mW total. Thepreamplifier and amplifiers account for most of the systemtemperature drift, which is on the order of 5% gain varia-tion between -200 and +50 0 C and 10% between -300 and +50 0 C.This is adequate for the experiment objectives.
Pulse Height Discriminator
The output of the second amplifier is coupled to thediscriminator through the capacitor, C15. The transistorpair, Q4, serves as a differential comparator between theanalog signal amplitude and a DC reference voltage set byR27 and R28. Feedback through R29 turns on Q6, reduc-ing the reference voltage and causing regeneration. In theon state, Q6 is in saturation and the reference is within afew millivolts of zero. When the input voltage goes throughits zero crossover, regeneration in the opposite directiontakes place and the circuit returns to the quiescent state.

The dead time associated with the discriminator istherefore governed primarily by the shape of the amplifiersignal and is equal to the width of the positive lobe, or500 ns under nonoverload conditions. This leads to a maxi-mum repetition rate for the discrimination of 2 MHz.
The nominal design value for the Q4 reference levelis 200 mV, corresponding to 1. 0 x 105 electrons at thepreamplifier input.
Output Buffer
The output buffer serves a dual function. It con-verts counts from the discriminator into pulses of fixedamplitude, width, and transition time from a low imped-ance source, suitable for coupling into the data systemthrough a long transmission line. In addition, it limitsthe experiment counting rate by establishing a fixed deadtime between successive counts. The relation between thedata system count rate and the electron intensity incidenton the multiplier is thus determined by the characteristicsof the output buffer.
ELECTRON MULTIPLIER BIAS SUPPLY
The electron multiplier bias supply (Ref. 7) (seeFig. 17) consists of a tuned-transformer sinewave oscil-lator (Q11 and Q12), which provides a 500 to 600 voltspeak-to-peak sinewave at the secondary of T1. The sec-ondary drives a Cockcroft-Walton multiplier, which de-velops a 4. 5 kV maximum output to bias the electron multi-plier. A resistive divider taken from the multiplier screenproduces a known fraction of the high voltage output, whichis buffered by AR2 and fed back to AR1 via R21 and R22where it is compared to a reference voltage (set by CR1).An error signal thereby produced controls the multiplierbias.
The feedback ratio is changed by switching any orall of R27, R32, or R36 across R22. The result is seven

A current-limiting signal developed across R16,R17, and R18 forward-biases the emitter-base junction ofQ4 when the load current exceeds about 40 mA at room tem-perature. R12 and R14 provide an additional feedback volt-age that is proportional to the output voltage. As the out-put voltage drops, R12 and R14 further limit the current,thus reducing the power dissipation in the series passtransistor, Q2. The equation describing the limiting cir-cuit is:
R14V = R I + (16 - V R14be po o R20 + R14 + R
p
where
Vbe = the Q14 base-to-emitter voltage,
Vo, I° = oscillator drive voltage and current, and
R = R16//R17//R18.p
Substituting the actual resistor values yields:
V be 11 x 103 I - 0. 015 V + 0. 240.

Q4 turns on when Vbe is about 500 mV, and the nominalvoltage/current charcteristics are shown in Fig. 18. Thetemperature dependence is due to Vbe shift.
A high-voltage monitor is telemetered as one ofthe PES 8-second analog subcom words. The redundantoutputs (R2 and R3) are voltage-limited to 8 volts by CR22to protect the spacecraft A/D converter if a PES malfunc-tion shorts R7 to +16 volts. A drive voltage of 4. 5 kVyields a 4. 5 volt monitor voltage.
CR23 is used to protect AR3 in case arcing in theelectron multiplier chamber causes excessive voltagetransients at the R43 terminal.
The Cockcroft-Walton multiplier is electrostati-cally shielded from the tuned oscillator to prevent pickup.A double RC filter reduces the ripple on the high-voltageoutput to about 40 mV peak to peak. A third RC filterlocated at the electron multiplier reduces the ripple toless than 0. 5 mV peak to peak. The high-voltage powersupply leads are returned directly to the +16 volt return,eliminating ground loops through the electron multiplier.
The oscillator draws about 22 mA at 12 volts anddelivers 40 AA at 4. 5 kV. The oscillator efficiency istherefore about 75%. The control circuitry requires about3 to 4 volts to operate the series pass transistor, and con-sequently the bias supply power consumption is about 360mV when operating at 4. 5 kV. The power drain is reducedto about 250 mW when operating at 3. 0 kV.
INPUT-OUTPUT BOARD
Certain interface and miscellaneous circuits inthe PES cannot be conveniently packaged in any of the ex-periment subassemblies. Instead these circuits aremounted in a separate subassembly called the input-outputboard. These circuits consist of the main frame sync buf-fer and one-shot, the thermistor No. 1 and thermistor

PES Main Frame Synchronization
The main frame sync buffer is the standard inter-face circuit required in GSFC Specification SK-2260216.The sync signal from U1 pin 3 passes through an overridegate. In normal operation, pins 1 and 2 of U1 are pulledhigh by R8, and the override gate acts as an inverter. Themain frame sync signal (from the satellite) triggers a3 5 0 -1s one-shot, which is constructed from the remaininggates of U1 and U2. In the override condition, U2 pin 3 isforced high by grounding pins 1 and 2 of U2, and the 350-As one-shot is triggered only by the main frame sync over-ride signal, which is generated in the PES ground supportequipment (GSE).
The buffered and stretched main frame sync signalis renamed "T" and is used to parallel-dump data in thePES command and digital data systems. T goes high whenthe main frame sync goes active. It remains high for atime determined primarily by C14, R28, and R29. Thepulse width variation caused by temperature and power sup-ply changes is shown in Table 4.

Temperature Sensors
Each PES sensor contains a thermistor that is se-cured with epoxy in an aluminum housing and mounted tothe aluminum wall between the electron multiplier and thebias supply. The thermistor therefore gives a temperatureindicative of the average case temperature of the sensorelectronics.
Table 1 compares nominal voltage out of the bufferwith temperature within the sensor. Assuming a 5 ± 1 MQload, the voltage error caused by Loading uncertainty is
±0. 04%, which is small compared with the design goal of1%. If either of the redundant outputs is shorted to ground,the voltage at the remaining output must be multiplied by1. 196 in order to use the table.
Command Relays
The command relays, K1 and K2, supply or remove+16 volt power to the sensor No. 1 and No. 2 electron multi-plier bias supplies, respectively. They are Teledyne Inc.No. 422-18 latching relays, which have a nominal DC coilresistance of 1130 ohms and a maximum required pulsewidth of 1. 5 ms at the nominal coil voltage of 18 volts. Therelay will activate at any voltage between 13. 5 and 24 volts.Redundant clamping diodes and flag contacts are providedin accordance with GSFC Specification SK-2260216.
A resistive divider (R21 and R22) monitors the +5volt line from the main power supply. The information istelemetered as one of the PES 8-second subcom analog words.The signal ground reference is also telemetered (R26 andR27) to monitor the offset between the spacecraft A/D con-verter ground and the PES signal ground as well as the off-set voltage of the A/D converter.
MINOR MODE COMMAND SYSTEM
Commands that make small adjustments to experi-ment operational modes aboard the AE-C satellite are

classified as minor mode commands. This section describesthe electronics that receive the PES minor mode commandword and produce a 16-bit word indicating the mode status ofthe experiment.
The command word is 32 bits long, as shown inFig. 20.
The command word is clocked into a 12-bit shiftregister (U6, U9, U12) in the PES minor mode commandsystem (see Fig. 21).
When the 34 command clock pulses stop, the de-sired PES command word resides in the shift register.The enable command word signal that brackets the clockpulses parallel-enters the command word into U5, U8, andU11, which distribute the commands to the experiment sub-assemblies.
The last 12 bits of the PES command word performthe functions listed in Table 5, which are discussed in thewriteup of each applicable subassembly.

The commands received in the experiment areparallel-dumped into U4, U7, and U10 at the beginning ofeach frame by the buffered main frame sync signal, T (seeFig. 22). These bits are read as part of the PES subcomdigital data and are used to verify proper receipt of the PEScommand word.
A cal enable/disable signal indicates when +16 voltpower is made available to the calibrator. Should a cali-brator malfunction occur, a cal disable relay command willbe sent, and +16 volt power is removed from the calibrator.In addition, a cal mode on/off signal indicates when the cali-brator is in use, i. e., when it is drawing current from the+16 volt line. Both the cal enable/disable and the cal modeon/off indicators are telemetered as part of the PES 16-bitsubcom digital data word.
A 16-bit-long enable subcom digital data signal isrequired from the spacecraft to read the PES subcom digitaldata. Readout occurs at a 4-second rate on word 55 of the64-word subcom and words 55 and 119 of the 128-word sub-com (see Fig. 23).
The minor mode command system power consump-tion is 230 mW at +5 volts.

the deflection sweep supply. The Y1 through Y6 signalsare derived from a binary counter, and R27 through R32provide the corresponding binary weighted currents thatare summed in ARI. The resulting AR1 output is a 64-steplinear ramp with a maximum value of (-) 2. 500 volts and aprecision of 0. 1%.
At the 0. 00 volt step, a reverse voltage is appliedto the hemispheres via the background bit (Q7). This pre-vents low-energy electrons from traversing the analyzerso that the 0. 00 volt step provides a true indication of thebackground count rate caused by the radioactive calibrationsource plus cosmic rays.
High-Voltage Amplifiers
The basic high-voltage amplifier is shown below:
Rf
In the case of the positive sweep, R5 is a combination ofR77, R79, and R81; Rf is R68, R66, and R67; and the OAconsists of AR3 (which provides gain) and Q17 and Q18(which provide high-voltage capability).
Loop stability is provided by C29, C27, and R63.
Q21 and Q23 switch various combinations of sourceresistors to obtain the three desired maximum sweep volt-ages:

The operation of the negative high-voltage amplifieris analogous and produces maximum sweep voltages of:
(-)109. 6 volts for 500 eV(-) 21.9 for 100(-) 5.48 for 25
Performance
The primary sources of DC error are the AR1 andAR2 voltage offsets and resistor temperature drift. In theworst case, this error could be 0. 3% full scale (on allranges), which is about one-fifth of the value of the leastsignificant bit and which more than satisfies the experimentrequirements.
The majority of the sweep supply power is consumedin the high-voltage amplifiers. Since Q17 and Q20 are con-stant current sources, power dissipation is essentially con-stant at 320 mW.
MODE CONTROL LOGIC
The mode control logic accepts signals from thecommand system and the timing signal generator, and com-bines them to determine the dwell time of the positive andnegative high-voltage supplies in their various gain ranges.The control logic outputs drive the gain switching network,which adjusts the sweep supplies to three full-scale outputlevels (corresponding to 25, 100, and 500 eV). The com-mand signals are combined to obtain the three ranges, whilethe timing signals determine the range dwell. The dwell isalso variable and corresponds to either fast or slow spin rate.

THE JOHNS HOPKINS UNIVERSITY
APPLIED PHYSICS LABORATORYSILVER SPRING. MARYLAND
Refer to Fig. 25 for the mode control logic imple-mentation. There are five deflection swept range modes(Figs. 26 through 29). Y7 and Y8 are timing signals fromthe timing signal generator. The period of Y7 is either32T (slow spin rate) or 8T (fast spin rate). The period ofY8 is always twice the period of Y7. The signals from thecommand system are cal and mode select bits 1, 2, and 3.The mode signals, Modes I, II, III, IV, and V, are gen-erated from the commands by the mode control logic. Rangebits A and B are the mode control logic outputs to the gainswitching circuit. These range bits adjust the sweep sup-ply gains for the three full-scale swept outputs.
The logic equations were written by observing thewaveform relationships of Figs. 26 through 29. The modecontrol output "states" that define the three gain ranges aregiven in Table 6.

Mode I (ABAC sweep sequence) during calibration. Theexperiment is also forced into the slow sweep rate modeand synchronized with the 128 word subcom sync signal.The positive sweep steps are measured during the first 4seconds after the subcom sync signal, and the negativesweep steps are measured during the remaining 4 seconds.
During the calibration sequence, particle data areinhibited and the PES digital data system is used to storeand transmit calibration data.
Calibration Enable and Initiate
The basic A/D converter is synchronized with thetelemetry main frame sync signal and makes conversionsat 4 times the main frame data rate. However the cali-brator power is normally off. When a cal initiate com-mand is received, the power switching network (U12, U14,and Q4) looks for the next 128 word subcom sync signal andthen turns the calibrator on. When the next sync signalarrives (8 seconds later), the switching network shuts thecalibrator off.
A relay, K1, is used as an override to removepower from the calibrator in case of calibrator malfunction.
The A/D Converter
The A/D converter is a dual-slope integrating type.It consists of a voltage reference, an integrator, a com-parator, an oscillator, and an 11-bit counter with an over-flow bit, as shown in Fig. 31. At the beginning of the con-version, the integration capacitor is charged to the com-parator reference voltage, Vc . The unknown voltage, VA,is inverted and applied to the integrator input, the compara-tor output changes, and clock counts are gated into thecounter. When the counter overflows, the reference volt-age replaces the unknown voltage and discharges the inte-gration capacitor to V c , at which time the comparator out-put changes and the conversion is complete.

Figure 30, sheet 1, shows the buffer amplifiers forthe positive sweep (AR1, inverting) and negative sweep(AR2, noninverting).

voltage, VA, is switched via Q15, and a 1 volt signal usedto drive the initial integrating capacitor voltage to Vc isswitched via Q21.
Figure 30, sheet 2, contains the integrator, com-parator, clock, and counter discussed earlier and also theassociated control logic.
The clock runs at 300 kHz ±3% over a -500 to +60 0 Ctemperature range. The maximum conversion time istherefore 14. 1 ms plus an additional 1 ms for turn-on andinitializing times.
The integration time constant is 4. 8 ms, whichallows a maximum integrator output voltage of 10. 5 volts.Initial capacitance tolerance and temperature sensitivitymay extend this maximum to 12 volts.
The accuracy of the converter is 0. 2% ± 1 bit overthe temperature range. The timing of the converter issuch that it puts out one count more than the expected num-ber. The PES digital data system, however, is set up toput out one count less than it receives as an aid in datasystem checkout (see following Section). Consequentlythe PES reads the expected calibration number.
The calibrator power consumption is 575 mW whenoperating and is essentially zero when in standby.
DIGITAL DATA SYSTEM
The PES digital data system consists of four 12-bitaccumulators and four 12-bit temporary storage registers.Each accumulator counts for one-fourth of a frame. At thebeginning of each new frame, the data are parallel-trans-ferred into temporary storage and the accumulators are re-set. This sequence is in sync with the spacecraft teleme-try system and is independent of the operational mode ofthe experiment. Figure 32 illustrates the data systemtiming.

Figure 32 shows that the data are read out oneframe after they are accumulated. At the beginning ofeach frame, the 3 5 0 -us transfer and reset signal, T, isgenerated, and during this time accumulation is inhibited.The accumulation time for every fourth word is thereforereduced by 350 ;As, or about 2%. Since the 350 As is ±10%stable with temperature, the error variation is 0. 2% from-50" to +60 0 C. A temperature calibration could be used toreduce the error further, but this is considered unneces-sary.
The T signal resets the accumulators to all "l's. "Consequently the first particle count causes the accumula-tors to read all "0's, " and the data must be adjusted byadding one count to the transmitted numbers.
The word enables from the spacecraft occur eightbits prior to the word positions in the main frame. Theenable for PES words 1 and 2 occurs during main framewords 37, 38, and 39, and the data appear in 38, 39, and40. Similarly, words 3 and 4 are clocked out during mainframe words 101, 102, and 103 and appear in positions102, 103, and 104.
Figure 33 is a schematic of the PES digital datasystem. P-channel enhancement mode MOS/LSI chips(U8 through U15) perform the storage functions. Eachchip contains an eight-bit accumulator and an eight-bitshift register. PES word 1, for example, consists of eightbits from U8 and four bits from U12.
The words 1 and 2 shift registers are connected inseries via the Q1 buffer. Data from these two registersare clocked out of the experiment via a one-bit delay (U17).The enable, clock, and bit relations are shown in Fig. 34.
PES words 3 and 4 are clocked out in a similar man-ner when the enable for main words 102, 103, and 104occurs. All four PES words are "or-ed" to a single outputand presented to the spacecraft via redundant buffers, asshown in Fig. 35.

Low-power TTL gates are used to select and multi-plex the data into the accumulators. U1, for example, isused to select either sensor data if the cal mode on/off sig-nal is low or calibration data if the cal mode on/off signalis high. In addition, minor mode commands are used toselect which sensor data are accepted by the digital datasystem. The defining truth table is shown in Fig. 36.
The digital data system consumes about 130 mWdistributed in the following manner: 4. 8 mA at -6 volts,- 0 mA at -10 volts, 8. 0 mA at +5 volts, and 8. 0 mA at7. 75 volts.
MAIN CONVERTER
Circuit Design
The design of the PES main converter* is a two-transformer squarewave oscillator of the type described byJensen. The first transformer, T1 (see Fig. 37) is drivento saturation flux levels and determines the operating fre-quency. T2 is a nonsaturating design from which the out -put voltages are taken from secondary windings. The 16volt output is used in the high-voltage regulator for theelectron multiplier. The load on this line varies from no
load to as high as 690 mW, depending on the anode voltagesrequired on the two electron multipliers. A separate sec-ondary winding on T2 prevents changes in the 16 volt loadcurrent from causing copper loss voltage drops in the otheroutput windings.
All output voltages except the +10 volts do not re-
quire a highly regulated source. The input voltage varies±2%, and thermal changes in the rectifier diodes give amaximum change of ±5% for the 5 volt output and lesser
amounts for the others since the diode drop is a smallerpercentage of the output voltage. This is adequate exceptfor the reference voltage for the D/A converter in the
sweep supply and for the A/D converter in the in-flight
The main converter circuit was designed by R. E. Cashion(Ref. 10).

calibrator. Here a voltage stable to 0. 1% or better is
needed. The regulator made up of CR18, Z1, and Q5 gives
an output of +10. 00 ±0. 01 volts over a 100*C temperature
variation and the required load changes.
Circuit Protection
The input is current limited by the foldback limit
circuit made up of Q1 and Q2. The foldback point is set at
200 mA, or twice the nominal load, and folds back to 60 mA
at a dead short. The most attractive feature of the current
limit circuit is protection during testing phases.
The current is limited at turn-on to 2 amperes bythe dynamic damper made up of L1, L2, R2, C2, and C3.
The voltage swing at turn-off is similarly limited by the dy-
namic damper of R1 and C1.
Electrical specifications in the AE-Experiment In-
terface Specification SK-2260216 give a transient overvolt-
age of ringing to -47 and -36 volts for 100 ms. The outputvoltages are prevented from following the input by the zener
diode, CR2. Current into the zener diode is limited to about
100 mA by the current limiter, Q2.
All output lines are filtered to remove converter
noise. The inductor-capacitor pairs are located in a sepa-
rate shielding enclosure.

3. INSTRUMENT MECHANICAL DESIGN*
ELECTOSTATIC ANALYZER
The PES dual-hemisphere electrostatic analyzer ismodeled after the rocket instruments flown by Doeringet al. (Ref. 2). The analyzer consists of two metal hemi-
spheres mounted concentrically and insulated electricallyfrom each other as well as ground (see Fig. 38). The insu-lator (item 7 of Fig. 38) also acts as the base for construc-tion and alignment of the hemispheres. The inner hemi-sphere is located with respect to the insulating base via astainless steel pin (item 9) and mounted via a single cen-trally located screw (item 17). The location of the outerhemisphere with respect to the inner hemisphere is thendetermined by the precision of machining of the insulatingbase.
A molybdenum annulus restricts particle access tothe analyzer except through a 1. 3-mm hole at the analyzerentrance and a 1. 3-mm by 61 ' opening at the exit (seeFig. 39). Molybdenum was chosen for this application be-cause of its dimensional and surface stability. Surfacestability is essential for preventing charge accumulation(and therefore field distortion) at the analyzer apertures.
An aluminum alignment plate (item 3 of Fig. 38)locates the hemispheres and insulating base with respect tothe molybdenum ring and is used to mount them. Thestructure is then surrounded by a magnetic shielding mate-rial (item 5) and secured with a retaining ring (item 4).
Lugged wires are screwed to each hemisphere as amethod of applying the voltages from the deflection sweepsupply.
The PES mechanical design was done by R. S. Glaeser,and layouts were done by J. T. Mueller. See the Appen-dix for a mechanical drawing list.

Ultraviolet light entering the analyzer and reflect-ing from the hemisphere surfaces could strike the elec-tron multiplier and cause counts that are indistinguishablefrom counts caused by electrons. Consequently both theentrance and exit apertures are baffled to reduce the amountof data contamination from ultraviolet light. The bafflesconsist of holes in the outer hemisphere large enough to in-clude the solid angle determined by the entrance and exitcollimators, yet small enough to leave the electric fieldbetween the hemispheres virtually undisturbed. Ultravioletlight passing through the entrance baffle causes secondaryelectron emission when it strikes the rear cover. A cop-per plate biased at ±50 volts is installed behind the en-trance baffle to collect these secondary electrons.
A Ni-63 radioactive source (item 10 of Fig. 38) isinstalled in the magnetic shield directly above the exitaperture baffle hole. Because of this position, the p emis-sion from the source passes through the baffle and strikesthe electron multiplier, producing a background count forcalibration of the sensor electronics. The integrity of themagnetic shield is maintained by machining the sourcemount from magnetic shielding material and welding it tothe shield prior to heat treatment. The Ni-63 source isdeposited on the end of a special screw made from mag-netic shielding material. The source is then sealed andthe holder is gold plated, screwed into its mount, andlocked with a small set screw.
ELECTRON MULTIPLIER BIAS SUPPLY
The electron multiplier bias supply (Ref. 7) pro-duces voltages up to 4500 volts, and special packaging tech-niques are required to avoid damage from corona discharge.
All materials outgas to some degree in a high vac-uum. It is likely that a high-voltage supply will experienceoccasional arcing because of increased local pressurecaused by outgassing either in a vacuum chamber or in

orbit. Encapsulation helps protect the supply from theatmosphere, but under the relentless vacuum of space thepotting material itself may outgas and produce high internalpressure regions and associated arcing. Since most pottingmaterials are organic, low impedance carbon paths may beformed during a corona discharge and may cause permanentdamage to the supply. Although there are several excellentpotting materials, their successful use depends upon thecare and control exercised during the potting procedure.
Increasing the spacing between components in criti-cal areas reduces but does not eliminate the likelihood ofarcing. A compromise fabrication technique used for thePES uses an inorganic material to house and isolate eachindividual component in the Cockcroft-Walton multiplier.The components are laid out with minimum spacing, andcavities are machined into an inorganic material (in thiscase Vespel-1), as shown in Fig. 40a. Corona paths existonly in the seams between cavities. If arcing occurs, nopermanent low impedance paths are formed.
The low-voltage components of the bias supply aremounted on a printed circuit board but separated from thehigh-voltage section by an electrostatic shield. The entiresupply is then placed in a metal enclosure, as shown in Fig.40b.
SENSOR ASSEMBLY
A housing (item 1 of Fig. 41) machined from a sin-gle piece of aluminum is used to mount the analyzer andbias supply as well as the analog electronics and the elec-tron multiplier. The electron multiplier (item 7) is in aseparate compartment, which contains only the necessarybias and filter components (item 6). Electrical connectionsin this compartment (as well as in the analyzer) are eitherwelded or crimped to avoid placing the electron multipliernear solder, which would contaminate the dynodes. How-ever, braid on the preamplifier coaxial cable is soldered

since this is considered the only reliable method of con-necting the braid. Nevertheless, this solder connection Iscoated with conformal coating and protected with a Kel-Fcover.
The sides of the analyzer collimator are machinedas part of the aluminum housing, and a rectangular molyb-denum plate is screwed to the front of the collimator. Theplate contains a 5. 8 by 2. 6 mm hole and is located 16. 5 mmin front of the hole in the analyzer entrance aperture. Thecollimator holes thereby restrict the sensor look angle to acone of approximately 90 by 200.
Three coaxial test connectors (item 17 of Fig. 41)are mounted on a Vespel-1 bracket (item 15) to isolate theshields (which are at signal ground) from chassis ground.A single 25-pin Cannon connector (item 16), which connectsto a cable going to the main electronics assembly, is alsomounted on the Vespel-1 bracket, but its shell is in contactwith chassis ground.
MAIN ELECTRONICS ASSEMBLY
The main electronics assembly drawing is shownin Fig. 42. All subassemblies (items 2 through 8) pluginto a "mother board" (item 9). Wiring goes directly fromthe mother board to the spacecraft interface connector (J5),the sensor assembly interface connectors (J3 and J4), andthe PES ground support equipment connector (J6).
The main power supply (item 2) is mounted in anelectrostatically shielded enclosure to minimize radiatedRFI (radio frequency interference).
The PES digital data system (item 3) contains PMOSdata registers, which are more susceptible to radiationdamage than are TTL registers. Consequently the PESdigital data system is placed in a location that takes maxi-mum advantage of incidental shielding. In addition, two

4. GROUND SUPPORT EQUIPMENT
GENERAL
The PES ground support equipment (GSE) stimulatesand monitors the PES experiment in all of its operationalmodes. It is used during the PES assembly and experimen-tal level checkout, during calibration tests, and during en-vironmental qualification tests.
The GSE consists of a printer and a special-purposeinterfacer, which contains a digital voltmeter with BCD(binary coded decimal) outputs. This allows the experimentanalog and digital data to be monitored visually and/or re-corded as permanent test records.
The experiment is set into the desired operatingmode by a command system simulator that is activated byswitches on the front panel of the GSE. Panel lights indi-cate the command states.
In addition to command simulation, the GSE readsand logs analog housekeeping data and generates the clock,timing, and enable signals required to read the experimentdigital data. (Digital data include command status andscience data. )
DATA ENCODING
Both the analog and digital data received by the GSEare identified and recorded according to the following eightcolumn format:

- 109 -

code is octal and takes values from 00 to 77. Code num-bers from 00 to 47 indicate that digital data are being re-ceived from the experiment (see Table 7). Code 77 indi-cates that analog data are being read and codes 50 through76 are unassigned.
The step has had two different meanings, dependingon whether analog or digital data are being displayed. Ifanalog data appear (code 77), the step indicates the positionof the analog multiplexer which feeds data to the digitalvoltmeter. Table 8 shows the assignment of analog datafor each analog step.
If digital data appear (codes 00 through 47), the stepindicates the position on the energy sweep corresponding tothe data being displayed. For example, the format:
Code Step Data
12 31 3729
indicates that the experiment is in fast sweep rate, Mode Ion the 0 to 500 eV sweep. Furthermore, since there are64 steps per sweep starting from 0, step 31 is 31/63 of themaximum sweep energy. Consequently the data indicatethat 3729 electrons of 246 eV energy have been observedby sensor No. 1
"FREE RUN" OPERATION (DIGITAL DATA ONLY)
If the GSE clock is allowed to "free run, " digitaldata will be obtained from the experiment at the rate offour words per second, which is the maximum reliableprinter speed. Four lines per second, however, is 16times slower than the spacecraft readout rate. In order tocheck the complete experiment, the GSE operates at a slowenable speed and reads every digital data word. In addition,to check the experiment time response at the satellite clockrate, the GSE also operates at a fast enable speed and readsevery sixteenth digital data word. For example, the code 00through 02 (positive calibration) would be as follows:

"STOP ON STEP" OPERATION
Two thumbwheel switches on the GSE front panel canbe set to monitor data continuously at any step. In this mode,the GSE clock runs until the desired step is reached and thenstops. Once the GSE clock stops, no further timing or dataenable signals are generated, and further data must be ob-tained via external trigger signals.
To obtain continuous digital data, set the enable tog-gle switch to "ext" and send a transfer pulse and then anenable pulse, either by the pushbuttons or the BNC's locatedon the GSE front panel. If the BNC's are used, a 10-Ws clo-sure to ground is required for each signal.
Note: The experiment data system stores data forfour steps prior to transferring the digital data to the GSE.Consequently the GSE clock has been advanced by four stepswith respect to the experiment sync signals. Table 9 showsthe implication of this statement.
Accurate analog data can be obtained in the "stop onstep" mode only. A complete analog readout can be obtainedby stopping on step 00 and incrementing the thumbwheels byhand at about 1-second intervals. In this condition, oneDVM conversion and one print command occur per step.
A toggle switch on the rear of the GSE allows the DVMto self-trigger for continuous monitoring of a particular ana-log voltage. A one-step delay is incurred in this mode, asillustrated in Table 8.

If the command is received properly by the experi-ment, the last 12 subcom status lights (W1-5 through W2-8)will reflect the position of the command toggle switches(see Table 10).
Status light W1-1 indicates that the experiment isin the sweep calibration mode. W1-2, W1-3, and W1-4are spares and should not be lit.
Note: The enable signals required to send the com-mand word and receive the status word are generated bythe GSE and are inhibited during the "stop-on-step" mode.Consequently the experiment must be in the "free-run"mode to send minor mode commands and update the sub-com status word.
