INVESTIGATION OF HIGH FREQUENCY PROPAGATION IN THE IONOSPHERE USING SATELLITE TRANSMISSIONS

Abstract

The experimental programs carried out are reported on. A ajor revision in instrumentation and to some extent in objectives, has resulted from the failure of the projected Ionospheric Beacon Satellites, and the alternative use of satellites in the Transit series. In addition to the studies made under the present contract extension, reports are also made of other related projects which are conducted using satellite radio transmissions. (Author)
