摘要：

The ion and electron sensor (IES) is part of the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC). The IES consists of two electrostatic plasma analyzers, one each for ions and electrons, which share a common entrance aperture. Each analyzer covers an energy/charge range from I eV/e to 22 keV/e with a resolution of 4%. Electrostatic deflection is used at the entrance aperture to achieve a field of view of 90 degrees x 360 degrees (2.8 pi sr). Angular resolution is 5 degrees x 22.5 degrees for electrons and 5 degrees x 45 degrees for ions, vith the sector containing the solar wind being further segmented to 5 degrees x 5 degrees. The three-dimensional plasma distributions obtained by IES will be used to investigate the interaction of the solar wind with asteroids Steins and Lutetia and the coma and nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (CG). In addition, photoelectron spectra obtained at these bodies will help determine their composition.
