ACI Instrument for TRACERS

Caption

SwRI developed the Analyzer for Cusp Ions (ACI) instruments for the NASA TRACERS mission to measure energy-angle distributions every 0.3 seconds with excellent energy resolution and high-cadence coverage. Measuring energy dispersion steps separately on both TRACERS spacecraft will determine the spatial/temporal variability of reconnection.
