Abstract: 

We developed a procedure and elaborated equations for the processing and analysis of output signals from the detectors of neutral particles, DN, and charged particles, DE, which are parts of the scientific devices of the spacecraft “Sich-2”. The procedure allows one to determine the complex main kinetic parameters of the spacecraft environment.

Keywords: detectors of neutral and charged particles, kinetic parameters of the ionospheric plasma, spacecraft “Sich-2”
