Abstract:

The proposed experiments described in this report are designed to obtain information concerning the feasibility of tropospheric scatter transmission between an earth terminal and a satellite. These experiments are suggested in lieu of experiments utilizing orbiting vehicles primarily because of the problem of obtaining adequate power aboard satellites.
