The AMPTE(Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorer) mission was designed to study the access of solar-wind ions to the magnetosphere, the convective-diffusive transport and energization of magnetospheric particles, and the interactions of plasmas in space. The mission consisted of three spacecraft : the CCE; the IRM, which provided multiple ion releases in the solar wind, the magnetosheath, and the magnetotail, with in situ diagnostics of each; and the UKS, which used thrusters to keep station near the IRM to provide two-point local measurements. 2, record 2, English, - active%20magnetospheric%20particle%20tracer%20explorer

In this photograph [obtained with the rotating camera] two tracer particle paths in the vortex pair are seen. From such a photograph it can be concluded whether these tracers are situated in the upper or lower part of the vortex pair, but there is ample additional evidence to establish the sense of rotation in the trailing vortices. 2, record 3, English, - trailing%20vortex
