| Type of experiment | The EFW (Electric Field and Waves) instrument consists of four orthogonal
spherical sensors deployed from 50 m cable booms in the spin plane of the spacecraft, plus four deployment units and a main electronics unit. Each deployment unit deploys a multiconductor cable and tip-mounted spherical sensor. |
