| 内容記述 | A preliminary global study of VLF transmitter signals and low-latitude whistlers received at 245 km altitude on the Space Shuttle is presented. The observations were made in a 5-day period during the STS 3 mission in March 1982. Direct signals from a 10-kW transmitter located at 28 deg S magnetic latitude were received in a roughly circular region with a diameter of 6000 km centered around the transmitter. Signals propagating through the magnetosphere from a 500-kW magnetically conjugate transmitter at 40 deg N magnetic latitude were received inside a region extending 5000 km in longitude and 2000 km in latitude. In addition, direct signals from a 1-MW transmitter at 31 deg S magnetic latitude were received in a region extending 22,000 km in longitude, while the latitudinal extent (5000 km) was limited by the Shuttle orbit and the day/night terminator. |
