This analyzed data set, which was received from the experimenter, consists of electron number densities recorded by STADAN stations for periods in which the satellite orbit path was over any one of 10 stations observing the ionospheric beacon from this satellite. Knowledge of the satellite electron density is very useful for interpretation of beacon data. The experiment operated for 22 s every 3 min. The two 22-s periods occurring nearest a given beacon observing station were analyzed for electron density. The results are presented in tabular form on 35-mm microfilm along with UT, latitude, longitude, and altitude. The data from each month are ordered according to the beacon station over which the data were recorded.
