During the Spring equinox, both ATS-6 and ATS-5 were in geosynchronous orbit with a separation of about 11 deg longitude. A ground-based campaign was undertaken by Eather, Mende, and Judge to observe aurora at the foot of the ATS field line with a variety of instruments. Initial results support the injection boundary hypothesis of Mauk and McIlwain. Also during this period, the Cs-ion thrusters on both spacecraft were exercized in a deliberate attempt to control the spacecraft potential. Some success was achieved, and the presence of a sheath with a potential minimum about ATS-5 has been demonstrated (the sheath about ATS-6 is observed directly).
The reported investigation is based on observations made with the aid of the Explorer 45 satellite. Observations of protons during geomagnetic storms are discussed and attention is given to considerations of energy densities, hot-cold plasma interactions, stable and turbulent regions, the distribution function, charge exchange losses, the formation of stable auroral red arcs, and adiabatic and nonadiabatic responses. The behavior of energetic electrons is considered along with studies of quiet-time conditions and investigations of storm and poststorm behavior.
The paper describes a number of satellite-borne infrared spin-scan sensors and discusses the operational requirements for which they were designed. The sensors considered are the spin scan cloud cameras of ATS 1 and 3, the SMS/GOES visible-infrared spin-scan radiometer, and the VISSR atmospheric sounder.
