Instrumentation Developed by The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory for Non-APL Spacecraft.

摘要

Scientific and engineering instrumentation and support equipment developed by the Applied Physics Laboratory of The John Hopkins University for non-APL spacecraft since 1960 are described. The descriptions are arranged in chronological order according to experiment and include illustrations and system block diagrams. References and a listing of APL contributions to space research and technology are included. Instrumentation described includes: Transit-on-Discoverer; Injun Satellite Proton Instrumentation; Magnetic Attitude Control System; Solar Proton Monitors; Doppler Beacon; Orbiting Frog Otolith Experiment; Energetic Particles Experiment; Charged Particle Measurement Experiment; Ultraviolet Spectrometer Experiment; Skylab Experiment M131; Photoelectron Spectrometer; Apollo-Soyuz Ultraviolet Absorption Experiment MA-059; NAVPAC (Navigational Package); Low Energy Charged Particle Experiment (Voyager); Particle Flux Monitor (International Ultraviolet Explorer); and Seasat-A Instrumentation (Radar altimeter, SAR data link; Doppler Beacon, and Laser retroreflector array).
