What is Clementine Particle Measurements in Lunar Orbit about?
The Charge Particle Telescope (WI') onboard the Clementine spacecraft measured the fluxes of energetic electrons and protons in near-Earth space during solar energetic particle events and magnetospheric disturbances. Protons in the energy range from IO MeV to 80 MeV were of greatest interest for radiion effects such as total dose and single event upsets. CPT data were particularly useful in multi-spacecraft studies of interplanetary disturbances and their effects on the magnetosphere. The proton channels on the WI' provided measurements of solar energetic protons associated with the passage of an interplanetary shock at 0902 UT on 21 February 1994. The data provide good information concerning the shock passage timing and the energetic proton energy spectrum. Results are compared with those from GOES-7, SAMPEX, and GECYTAIL. The lower energy CPT electron channels (25-500 keV) were also of interest for magnetospheric studies. Although there was a significant solar interference problem, the CPT provided opportunities to observe energetic electron bursts during both magnetic storms and magnetospheric substorms.
