Description

DMSP/F17, SESS Special Sensor Precipitating Electron and Ion Spectrometer 5, SESS/SSJ5, The SSJ5 measures the transfer energy, mass, and momentum through the magnetosphere-ionosphere in the Earth's magnetic field. The SSJ/4 sensor consists of four electrostatic analyzers that record the flux of precipitating ions or electrons at 20 fixed energy channels between 50 eV and 30 keV.
