Orbiting Geophysics Laboratory Experiment.

Abstract

This document reports the investigation on the potential utility and technical feasibility of a new self-contained support system to be utilized repeatedly for different AFGL experiments in space, using the Space Transportation System (Shuttle) for launch and retrieval. This support system is designed to operate independently of both the STS and ground stations, therefore, stores data rather than transmitting them by telemetry. Angular pointing is the only maneuver planned; no propulsion is designed into this system.
