DCM is a 3x3xn direction cosine matrix expressing the payload body frame (X-axis out of nose, Z-axis 180 degrees from rail, Y-axis completes R.H.R.) axes as column vectors in the coordinates of the ENU (Local) reference frame. The NIACS body frame is X-axis out of tail, Z-axis towards the rail, Y-axis completes R.H.R., so expressing the payload body frame in the coordinates of the NIACS body frame is achieved by the following matrix: | -1 0 0 | | 0 1 0 | | 0 0 -1 | The ENU (Local) reference frame is the local geodetic East, North, Up coordinate frame

Each PES sensor had two detectors (A side and B side). This is the accumulated counts on the A-side counter. This was reset to zero at the beginning of each step. This accumulated counts updated every 40ms. The total counts per bin can be taken from the final measurement in each step

The Endurance PES instrument was comprised of 8 boom-mounted Dual Electrostatic Analyzer (DESA) sensors, and a main electronics box (MEB). Each DESA sensor had two look directions; A-side (looking down to Earth from launch to pitch-over maneuver, and then up to space until loss of signal (LOS)); and B-side (looking up to space from launch to pitch-over, and then down to Earth until loss of signal (LOS)). The sensors were synchronized by the MEB and cross-calibrated to look at approximately the same energy at the same time. A PES sweep consisted of 81 different steps and took 10 seconds. At each step, a voltage could be applied to the Electrostatic Analyzer (ESA) and/or the Retarding Potential Analyzer (RPA). Of these 81 steps; 3 (0, 1, 44) were used to take background counts with the ESA grounded, and to fire the SLP; 34 (2:9, 33, 56:80) were used to collect the standard resolution data measurement (15% DE/E, 10eV to 1keV) using the ESA alone; and 44 (10:32, 34:43, 45:55) were used to collect the high-resolution measurement (0.5% DE/E, 20.3 eV to 25.85 eV) using the ESA and RPA combined.”
The Sweeping Langmuir Probe (SLP) was commanded by PES so that it would not fire (sweep voltage) while PES was taking a measurement. PES measured background counts during such SLP firings, alternating between the total background counts, and the background counts above 20eV.

The sensors were synchronized by the MEB and cross-calibrated to look at approximately the same energy at the same time. These data present the standard resolution data measurement (15% DE/E, 10eV to 1keV) using the ESA alone, using counts from all the sensors combined together.

The Endurance SLP was a needle probe mounted on the forward Fo’c’sle of the spacecraft. It measured thermal plasma density, electron temperature, the potential difference between the spacecraft and ambient plasma (plasma potential) and the relative potential of the spacecraft. SLP performed an active (20ms) sweep once every 5 seconds, wherein a sweeping +/- 5V voltage was applied to the needle. The data products here were derived from the I-V curves and intercalibrated with EISCAT Radar and the PES instrument.

This file has particularly bad background problems due to intense radiation belts from ~08:00-10:00 UT. This file contains both onboard calculated moments (labeled "raw" with an "*" in the name) and moments calculated on the ground from 3D distributions (labeled "final"). Quantitative analysis should be done with the "final" moments. The raw data should only be used qualitatively for identifying regions and temporal variations. It has large errors, particularly in Vz in spacecraft coordinates. O+ and He+ data should not be used in the magnetosheath or at low L-values, due to background problems. Contact the LI at Lynn.Kistler@unh.edu if the data you need is not available on-line.
