Abstract
A scientific instrument for measuring neutral atmospheric conditions at satellite altitudes is provided. In an illustrative embodiment, the scientific instrument includes an ion gauge configured to measure ion pressure. The scientific instrument also includes a lid covering the ion gauge. The lid includes a plurality of slits. The scientific instrument also includes an aperture plate that includes an aperture opening. The aperture plate is configured to rotate such that each of the slits are periodically exposed by the aperture opening to allow a neutral beam flux to enter the ion gauge.
