Description

Caption: SPACE INVESTIGATOR--This is an engineering test model of the S52 satellite being built by Westinghouse's air arm division for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The S52 will be a joint project of the U.S. and United Kingdom. The paddles and antennae will measure galactic noise--radio frequency signals generated by stars and galaxies--the distribution of ozone in the atmosphere, and the quantity and size of micrometeroids in space.
