Abstract

The Radiation Belt Storm Probes Ion Composition Experiment (RBSPICE) on both the Van Allen Probes spacecraft is a time-of-flight versus total energy instrument that provided ion composition data over the ring current energy (∼7 keV to ∼1 MeV), and electrons over the energy range ∼25 keV to ∼1 MeV throughout the duration of the mission (2012 - 2019). In this paper we present instrument calibrations, implemented after the Van Allen Probes mission was launched. In particular, we discuss updated rate dependent corrections, possible contamination by "accidentals" rates, and caveats concerning the use of certain products. We also provide a summary of the major advances in ring current science, obtained from RBSPICE observations, and their implications for the future of inner magnetosphere exploration.

辐射带风暴探测器离子组成实验(RBSPICE)重述:飞行校准，经验教训和科学进展。

范艾伦探测器航天器上的辐射带风暴探测器离子组成实验(RBSPICE)是一个飞行时间与总能量的仪器，在整个任务期间(2012 - 2019)提供环电流能量(~ 7 keV至~ 1 MeV)和能量范围(~ 25 keV至~ 1 MeV)的离子组成数据。在本文中，我们介绍了在范艾伦探测器任务发射后实施的仪器校准。特别地，我们讨论了更新速率相关的修正，“意外”速率可能造成的污染，以及有关某些产品使用的警告。我们还总结了从RBSPICE观测中获得的环电流科学的主要进展，以及它们对未来内磁层探测的意义。

期刊介绍： Space Science Reviews (SSRv) stands as an international journal dedicated to scientific space research, offering a contemporary synthesis across various branches of space exploration. Emphasizing scientific outcomes and instruments, SSRv spans astrophysics, physics of planetary systems, solar physics, and the physics of magnetospheres & interplanetary matter. Beyond Topical Collections and invited Review Articles, Space Science Reviews welcomes unsolicited Review Articles and Special Communications. The latter encompass papers related to a prior topical volume/collection, report-type papers, or timely contributions addressing a robust combination of space science and technology. These papers succinctly summarize both the science and technology aspects of instruments or missions in a single publication.
