Quinn, J M; Vondrak, R R

The ONR-307 Energetic Particles and Ion Composition instrument payload will measure the energetic particle and plasma environment of the Earth's radiation belts and inner plasma sheet. The payload has been successfully designed, built, and tested for flight on the Combined Release and Radiation Effects Satellite. The instruments were integrated with the spacecraft and tested with the integrated system. This mission, originally scheduled for shuttle launch in July 1987, will now be launched on an Atlas Centaur in June, 1990. The ONR-307 payload is currently undergoing final adjustments and calibration activities prior to re-integration with the spacecraft in May 1989. Procedures have been developed and documented for on-orbit operation of the payload and acquisition of the data on digital tapes.
