The Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers (AMPTE) program comprised a trio of satellites designed to orbit the Earth in formation to perform a series of experiments in the exploration of the Earth's magnetosphere. The satellites themselves were: the Charge Composition Explorer (CCE); the UK Subsatellite (UKS), and the Ion Release Module (IRM). They were built and operated by the USA, the UK, and the FRG, respectively. The contents for the report includes the following items: Boom deployments: Attitude manoeuvres; Spin manoeuvres; Orbit manoeuvres; Initial conditions; Manoeuvre requests; Command data; Final conditions.
