Mission Name: ATS 2This experiment was designed to measure the differences in potential existing in the plasma surrounding the spacecraft using 100-ft (30.48 m) Langmuir probes on the spacecraft's gravity-gradient booms. No scientifically useful data were obtained from this experiment owing to large oscillations in the booms and to lack of attitude information.
