FUTURE
OBSERVATIONS OF THE OUTER HELIOSPHERE
M . H i l c h e n b a c h and H. Rosenbauer Max-Planck-Institut fr Aeronomie, D-37189 Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany. The next generation of space-borne particle instruments should enable us to deepen our understanding of the physics of the outer heliosphere. The new instruments should be capable to observe, for example, by remote and in situ observations the local interstellar medium and its interaction with the solar wind and energetic particles. We will discuss the challenges for instrument designs and possible detector concepts for the exploration of the outer heliosphere.

Fundamental advances in the understanding of the heliosphere and magnetosphere are possible using pixel arrays of cooled solid state detectors (SSD) and analog microcircuits. The SEEP experiment on the $81-1 satellite achieved 1.5 keV SSD energy resolution with high-sensitivity thereby giving new insights into the microstructure of radiation belt particles (E 4 keV). The CEPPAD/SEPS spectrometer on the POLAR satellite has over 500 SSD pixels that map continuously, for the rst time, the source and loss cone with unprecedented high angular resolution. New PVDF particulate sensors and microcircults capable of burst and time of flight impact analysis have increased our understanding of orbital debris with the SPADUS experiment recently launched on the ARGOS earth satellite. The ADS energetic particle instrument included along with PVDF dust sensors in the SPADUS instrument pushes the temporal resolution down to fast 8 ms accumulation intervals. The HENA instrument (ENA) on the IMAGE satellite implements a new type of low noise, thin window, and 240 pixel SSD sensor with associated microchips that is decoupled from the fast (noisy) time-of-flight front end analyzer. The new generation of detectors and analog microelectronics will produce comprehensive images with simultaneous mass, energy, and charge information for remotely unraveling the dynamics of ENA in the heliosphere and magnetosphere.
