Summary

Abstract: IMP-8 (IMP-J) was launched by NASA on October 26, 1973 to measure the
magnetic fields, plasmas, and energetic charged particles (e.g.,
cosmic rays) of the Earth's magnetotail and magnetosheath and of the
near-Earth solar wind. IMP-8 continues to operate.

Energetic particle data from the IMP-8 Goddard Medium Energy (GME)
Experiment provide a comprehensive basis for modulation and
acceleration ...
