The Canadian Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) Mission: Current Status and Planned Observations and Data Distribution
نویسندگان
چکیده
The CASSIOPE Enhanced Polar Outflow Probe (e-POP) is a Canadian small-satellite mission dedicated to the study of polar ion outflows and related magnetosphere-ionosphere coupling processes in the topside ionosphere. Scheduled for launch in 2009, it will carry eight scientific instruments, including imaging plasma and neutral particle sensors, magnetometers, dual-frequency GPS receivers, CCD cameras, a radio wave receiver and a beacon transmitter, for in-situ particle, field, and current measurements and auroral imaging and radio measurements. We present an overview of the e-POP mission, its current status and plan of observations and data distribution during the operation phase of the mission.

CASSIOPE, the CAScade demonstrator Smallsat and IOnospheric Polar Explorer, is a Canadian satellite scheduled for launch in 2007. It is a hybrid mission designed for a wide range of tasks including space-based communication, high capacity information delivery, and observations of the Earth’s atmospheric environment. A dedicated suite of eight scientific instruments, called e-PoP, will investiga...
متن کاملHybrid Model for Bulk Current Injection Probe
A new hybrid-model for BCI probe is derived . This model is built based on the probe's internal structure without refinements, and by carrying out just one electrical measurement for the reflection coefficient, so that it can be generalized and used in studying the effect of layout parameters in the aim of improving the probe high frequency performance, which helps the developer in design stage...
متن کاملStatic Pressure Distribution in an Excited Jet: Some Observations (RESEARCH NOTE)
A plane subsonic jet was subjected to periodic oscillations in the near nozzle region by a twin vane system. During excitation, the jet was found to spread significantly and entrain mass much more than its steady counterpart. Time averaged static pressure measured in the flow field with a disc probe exhibited prominent well defined suction regions different from that of a steady jet.
متن کاملInvestigation of MODIS mission capability in tropospheric delay estimation for precise point positioning
Tropospheric delay is always considered as one of the factors limiting the accuracy of GPS. In this paper, the three-dimensional ray tracing technique is proposed to calculate the tropospheric delay. The ability of the MODIS mission to calculate the tropospheric delay is also examined. For this purpose, an area in central Europe was selected and a MODIS acquisition on 2008/08/01 was studied. In...
متن کاملHigh-redshift Gamma-ray Bursts from Population Iii Progenitors
Detection of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) from redshifts z ∼> 7 would open a new window into the earliest epoch of cosmic star formation. We construct separate star formation histories at high redshifts for normal (Pop I and II) stars, and for predominantly massive (Pop III) stars. Based on these separate histories, we predict the GRB redshift distribution to be observed by the Swift mission. Regard...
