Langmuir Probe (ISL)

spase://CNES/Instrument/CDPP/DEMETER/ISL

Description

The Langmuir probe experiment (ISL), has been designed for in situ measurements of the bulk parameters of the ionospheric thermal plasma. The ISL instrument is comprised of two sensors: (i) a classical cylindrical sensor and (ii) a spherical sensor with its surface divided in seven segments: six spherical caps electrically isolated and the rest of the sphere which is used as a guard electrode. The two main parameters measured by ISL are the electron density and temperature. They are obtained with a 1 s time-resolution.
