NSSDCA ID: 1967-031A-01
Mission Name: ATS 2This experiment utilized a 76-m dipole to observe radio noise at 0.45, 0.7, 0.9, 1.1, 1.6, 2.2, and 3.0 MHz. The radiometer was of the Ryle-Vonberg type and it was stepped through the seven frequencies plus an antenna capacitance measuring channel in 40 s. Since the antenna was shared with another experiment, this experiment was turned on only for alternate 10-min periods. The detector functioned normally, although interference was often present in the 0.9-MHz channel. NSSDC has all the useful data that now exist from this investigation.
