The Electron Losses and Fields Investigation (ELFIN) mission is a space weather mission using three scientific instruments in a 3U+ CubeSat. Each spacecraft has two Energetic Particle Detectors, one for Electrons (EPD-E) and one for Ions (EPD-I), as well as a Fluxgate Magnetometer deployed at the end of a 75cm stacer boom. These science instruments were developed by UCLA staff at the Institute for Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) and the Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences department (EPSS).
Please acknowledge the Principal Investigator, V. Angelopoulos, NASA, and NSF for providing the Data. Open Data for Scientific Use.
