Magnetic and electric fields and plasma waves are generally thought to play a significant role in various processes. At the dayside magnetopause these include the transfer of energy from the solar wind bulk particle flow into the magnetosphere, the anomalous resistivity formation in reconnection regions etc. Plasma waves are a very sensitive indicator of a lack of thermal equilibrium in the space plasmas. Features of the particle distribution function which may be of a small amplitude, localized in phase space or have a short lifetime, can produce strong plasma waves. A simple example of this is a turbulence, produced by electron beams at the bow shock. These beams are rarely identified in the particle data. The limit of temporal resolution of plasma waves is essentially the inverse of the frequency of that wave. Suitable receivers and onboard data processing systems can make measurements with a few millisecond resolution. This is two or three orders of magnitude higher resolution than one of typical plasma particle instruments what is important for the study of boundary crossings and structures [Alleyne et al., 1990].

Wave measurements performed onboard spacecraft Prognoz-8 and -10, Vega-1 and -2, Phobos-2 showed the nesessity of detailed measurements in the range of low hybrid frequency.

The scientific instruments flown onboard these spacecraft were built in the cooperation of research groups from Czech Republic, ESA\ESTEC, Poland, Russia and Ukraine. The wave instruments included hihgly sensitive sensors for measurements of fluctuations of the plasma flow, current density, electric and magnetic fields, spacecraft potential, density and temperature of the plasma and multi-channell frequency analyzers [Klimov et al., 1985, 1986; Grard et al., 1989; Klimov 1992].

First three months of ASPI instruments [Klimov et al., 1995] operation in orbit were used mainly for estimates of stability of measured parameters and effective sensitivity.

To provide high sensitivity of the electric field, magnetic field and plasma currents measurements a special program of magnetic, electric cleanliness and electromagnetic compatibility measures was implemented basing on the experience of the previous experiments[Turin et al., 1992, 1993; Klimov et al., 1993]. Unique configuration of the spacecraft with the spin axis pointing to the Sun ensures identical shadowing of electric field sensors.

Characteristics of the operating ASPI sensors and their location are in the Table below and Fig.1:

DATA EXAMPLES

ASPI (PI S.Klimov) measurements at the magnetopause outbound crossing, August 26, 1995, Fig.2 (100 kB image!!).

Magnetic field colour spectrogram (MIF-M, PI: S.Romanov) in 0.5-32 Hz band (bottom panel) displays strong ULF/ELF turbulence in the magnetosheath (right side) with the intensity and frequency span enlargement. Electric field colour spectrogram (OPERA, PI-E.Amata, CoPI-S.Savin) in 0.5-32 Hz band (top panel) shows: (a) wave bursts at the magnetopause and in the magnetosheath (b) electrostatic ELF emission inside magnetosphere (left side). Colour bar at the bottom panel right side shows the color coding of logarithmic wave amplitude.

Measurements by three-axial fluxgate magnetometers in the MIF-M and FGM-I instruments of ASPI combined with ones from two fluxgates of FM-3I [Nozdrachev et al., 1995] provide a unique possibility to estimate and monitor DC magnetic interferences from the spacecraft during all flight. Example of the data from MIF-M magnetometer at the same bow shock crossing as FM-3I example is in Fig.3.

Also available some additional examples obtained with the MIF-M instrument of ASPI wave complex.
