Communication and Instrumentation Systems for Space Vehicles.
Abstract
Contract effort can be grouped under airborne and ground support instrumentation systems, rocket and balloon field programs, and evaluation testing of commercial telemetry components. Instrumentation systems developed have included pre-flight calibrators, ground-based radiometers, airborne photometers, airborne television, a PCM encoder and a commutated-umbilical ground check-out system. Rocket field programs have been involved with HIRIS, multi-E-fields, LN2 interferometers, composition technology, payload dynamics, field widened interferometers, the ECLIPSE '79 program, a post burn-out thrust experiment and an eschelle spectrometer. Balloon field programs have been concerned with an airborne photometer, the BAMM program and an extreme ultra violet experiment. Brief mention is given to the components tested under an evaluation program concerned with such airborne components as, voltage controlled oscillators, VHF and UHF transmitters and lithium batteries.
