- The CIS (Cluster Ion Spectrometry) experiment is a comprehensive ionic plasma
spectrometry package onboard the four Cluster spacecraft, capable of obtaining
full three-dimensional ion distributions with good time resolution (one
spacecraft spin) and with mass-per-charge composition determination. The CIS
package consists of two different instruments, a Hot Ion Analyser (HIA) and a
time-of-flight ion Composition Distribution Function (CODIF), plus a
sophisticated dual-processor based instrument control and data processing
system (DPS), which permits extensive onboard data-processing.
The CIS experiment is prepared by an international consortium, under the
principal responsibility of Centre d'Etude Spatiale des Rayonnements (CESR).
