Journal ArticleDOI

Simulation of the prompt energization and transport of radiation belt particles during the March 24, 1991 SSC

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors modeled the formation of a new electron radiation belt at about or = 25 that resulted from the Storm Sudden Commencement (SSC) of March 24, 1991 as observed by the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite (CRRES) satellite.
Book ChapterDOI

Effects of the solar wind on magnetospheric dynamics: Energetic electrons at the synchronous orbit

TL;DR: In this paper, data on energetic electron fluxes at the synchronous orbit, covering the 1967-1978 time interval, obtained by experiments flown on the ATS-1, ATSs-5 and ATSS-6 spacecraft, have been analyzed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Electron-scale dynamics of the diffusion region during symmetric magnetic reconnection in space

TL;DR: In this paper, the electron-scale plasma measurements revealed super-Alfvenic electron jets reaching 15,000 kilometers per second, electron meandering motion and acceleration by the electric field, producing multiple crescent-shaped structures in the velocity distributions, consistent with fast reconnection.

The impact of the space environment on space systems

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a study to determine the impact of the space environment on space systems, including mission outages, mission degradation and mission failure, launch delays, redesign and retest, anomaly analyses, and the ultimate cost for each of the preceding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation of changes in the outer‐zone relativistic‐electron population with upstream solar wind and magnetic field measurements

TL;DR: In this paper, a study of the correlation of the population of relativistic electrons in the outer-zone magnetosphere with the properties of the solar wind (speed, density, magnetic field) during a solar minimum period was made.
