The electron, ion temperature and density are important plasma parameters for investigating the ionosphere. Several in-situ plasma measurement techniques were used by scientists to obtain these parameters. The purpose of this thesis is to design and develop a space plasma probe system. By using the space plasma chamber owned by the Institute of Space Science of National Central University, experiments were carried out to test and analyze the self-developed space plasma probe system. The performance of the self-developed system is compared with the space plasma probe on board Taiwan’s Sounding Rocket VII. The result shows that although the electron temperature and deviation measured by the self-developed system is higher (about 1600K and 200K respectively), the I-V curves are more stable. In the future, the circuits will be redesigned, and the accuracy of the A/D will be improved to make this system a fundamental facility for the space plasma system. It could even be mounted on rockets or satellites for future space sounding. |
