Abstract
This paper presents the IFSI-CNR activity for the CIS plasma experimen t to be flown on the ESA Cluster four-spacecraft mission, see H. Reme (PI) et al., ESA/SP Report 88/1253, September 1988. IFSI contributes t o the project by designing and producing part of the experiment, i. e. the sensor of the (0 divided-by 40) keV Hot-Ion Analyzer (HIA), its r elated digital processing unit and its software. This paper summarizes the instrument main features and describes the calibration facility f or the first flight unit.
