Ex-Alta 1 is the pioneer cube satellite for the AlbertaSat team at the University of Alberta and will be the first built-in-Alberta satellite. This 3U cube satellite is designed and assembled primarily by volunteer undergraduate students at the U of A, with guidance from several researchers and faculty members. In this way, AlbertaSat offers a unique opportunity to train highly qualified...

Terrestrial ion outflow and loss to space is the result of acceleration to escape speed of ionospheric ions that normally are strongly bound to earth through gravity. Previous research suggests this acceleration takes place in multiple steps. We investigate low-energy (<10 eV) ion initial energization processes in the topside ionosphere in both hemispheres using data from the SEI, MGF and RRI...

The field-aligned current (FAC) system associated with auroral arcs provides important information regarding the generator responsible for multiple arc systems, and presumably for individual arcs themselves. We have identified two types of FAC configurations in multiple parallel arc systems using ground-based optical data from the Themis all-sky imagers (ASIs), and magnetometers onboard the...

The Radio Receiving Instrument (RRI) on e-POP payload of the CASSIOPE satellite has a relatively high sampling rate and orthogonal dipole antennas which permit the observation of continuous wave (CW), pulse and phase coded signals from transmitters on the earth. In this study, high frequency (HF) 13-bit Barker-coded binary phase shifting keying (BPSK) and CW signals are detected from a...

Magnetospheric convection, the main process of the acceleration and injection of energetic particles into the magnetosphere, plays an important role in the study of Earth’s magnetosphere. One of our previous studies has compared the motion of Patchy Pulsating Aurora (PPA) patches with the corresponding ionospheric convection inferred from the SuperDARN radar measurements. The result shows that...
