| Zusammenfassung |
| The aims of this paper are (1) briefly to
describe the plasma devices onboard the MAGION-4 satellite, launched on 3 August
1995, of the INTERBALL project, and (2) to discuss first observations made near
the magnetopause region. During the presented boundary crossings the MAGION-4
observed quasi-periodic pulses of magnetosheath-like plasma in a region of low
plasma density. This region is located just earthwards of the magnetopause and
is populated by a plasma which, except for the density, has the same parameters
as in the magnetosheath. Deeper in the magnetosphere, the encounter of a layer
of hot electrons and high-energy ions was interpreted as low-latitude boundary
layer. |
