| Abstract | An experimental technique is described which measures L-band ionospheric scintillation at a remote, unmanned site. Details of an automatic data collection facility are presented. The remote facility comprises an L-band receiver, and a complete VHF command and control telemetry link which are coupled through an integral computer. The remote facility is controlled from a central data collection facility via the VHF link through either the ATS-1 or ATS-3 spacecrafts. L-band scintillation measurements taken at the remote facility are also relayed through the spacecraft to the central facility |
