Abstract

The mass-spectrometer model of thermal ionospheric ions measurements was considered in case of charged satellite. Hyperboloid device characteristics onboard Interball-2 satellite was used for mathematical model of measurements. It was shown that angular ion distribution function changed due to temperature anisotropy and it can be interprets by different ways. Positive satellite potential increases these effects.
