Ulysses HISCALE Data

 

Fundamental Technologies, LLC, of Lawrence, Kansas, is the official production center for Ulysses HISCALE data. The Heliosphere Instrument for Spectral, Composition, and Anisotropy at Low Energies (HISCALE) is designed to obtain measurements of interplanetary ions and electrons.  The ions and electrons are detected by five separate solid-state detector telescopes oriented to give essentially complete pitch-angle coverage from the spinning spacecraft.  Ion elemental abundances are determined by a DE vs E telescope using a 5 mm front detector element in a three-element telescope.  Inflight calibration is provided by radioactive sources mounted on telescope covers which can be closed.  Ion and electron spectral information is determined using both broad-energy-range rate channels and a pulse-height analyzer for more detailed spectra. The instrument weighs 5.775 kg and uses 4.0 W of power.
