Abstract :
The Particles Experiment Subsystem of the Apollo 15 Particles and Fields Subsatellite is now providing electron and proton energy spectra and flux information from lunar orbit. The experiment employs two silicon detector telescopes and a set of spherical plate electrostatic analyzers. Design of the overall instrument package is discussed and some of the data obtained will be presented.
