Description: The design of spectrometers to determine electron and proton spectra over energy ranges between 2 eV and 60 keV, and their application in a dual rocket experiment to measure these particle fluxes in a continuous aurora, are discussed briefly. Details of the overall experiment, including relevant flight parameters, are given, and preliminary results of electron measurements are presented.
