International Sun-Earth Explorer Collection, 1978-1982.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733100770

The collection includes ninety-five eight and a half by eleven inch and twenty-eight eleven by seventeen inch paper-based positive graphic glossy computational equation charts and data plots, four maps, five transparent magnetic field data experimental art work and three negative images created by the ISEE Workshop Team at JPL. Also, there are two articles published and one submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research and two publications by Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie, Katlenbrug-Lindau and Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, Graching, West Germany as follows: M.E. Pesses, Bruce Tsurutani, "Acceleration of Energetic Protons by Interplanetary Shocks," Journal of Geophysical Research, vol. 84, no. A12, December 1, 1979, pp. 7297-7301. "Saturn's Magnetosphere and Its Interaction with the Solar Wind," Journal of Geophysical Reseach, May 1980. This is a comprehensive report. Edward J. Smith and Bruce Tsurutani, "Lion Roars and Nonoscillatory Drift Mirror Waves in the Magnetosheath," Journal of Geophysical Research, vol. 87, no. A8, August 1, 1982. Bruce Tsurutani and Edward J. Smith, "Temporal Variations and the Radial Gradient of Interplanetary Discontinuities From 1 to 8.5 AU," in H. Rosenbauer, ed., Solar Wind Four, Katlenbrug-Lindau: Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie and Garching: Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, October 1981, pp. 185-190. Edward J. Smith, "Solar Wind Magnetic Field Observations," in H. Rosenbauer, ed., Solar Wind Four, Katlenbrug-Lindau: Max-Planck-Institut für Aeronomie and Garching: Max-Planck-Institut für extraterrestrische Physik, October 1981, pp. 96-106. The ISEE-1 and 2 principle investigators who created these images were Bruce Tsurantani and Edward J. Smith. They were instrumental in gathering the data results to support the experiments of various frequencies and observed the many interplanetary shocks of energetic protons distribution accumulated over a period immediately following each shock passage. The graphic images were integrated into the two articles that were submitted to the Journal of Geophysical Research to support the text of the principal investigators' experimental data. These structural test levels allowed the ISEE Team members at JPL to measure the vibration level of these data plots. This process determined what level frequency enhancements the team could use in observing numerical simulation and theoretical studies of charged particles acceleration in perpendicular and oblique shocks.

The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) is a research and development center and NASA field center in Pasadena, California. The JPL is owned by NASA and managed by the nearby California Institute of Technology. The laboratory's primary function is the construction and operation of planetary robotic spacecraft, though it also conducts Earth-orbit and astronomy missions. It is also responsible for operating NASA's Deep Space Network. Among the laboratory's major active projects are the Mars Scien...

Three Explorer-class spacecraft made up the International Sun-Earth Explorer mission, a mother/daughter/ pair (ISEE 1, ISEE 2) and a third craft sent into heliocentric orbit (ISEE 3). The mission was an international cooperative program between NASA and the European Space Agency to study the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth's magnetosphere. ISEE 1 and 2 were launched together October 22, 1977. Later the heliocentric spacecraft ISEE 3, renamed International Co...
