Abstract
THIS is a preliminary report of measurements of electron and proton precipitation in the auroral zone by a soft particle spectrometer (SPS) in the ISIS-1 satellite. The recordings were made at the telemetry station at Tromso, Norway, in late September 1969 during a period of moderate auroral activity, with the satellite at altitudes near 1,000 km.
