The community satellite. III

A number of technology experiments conducted with the satellite are discussed, giving attention to a very high resolution radiometer experiment, a radio frequency interference experiment, a millimeter wave propagation experiment, a COMSAT propagation experiment, a cesium bombardment ion engine experiment, an advanced thermal control flight experiment, a spacecraft attitude experiment, a radio beacon experiment, and environmental measurements experiments. Special investigations considered are related to the use of a spacecraft vibration accelerometer, a quartz crystal microbalance contamination monitor, and a television camera.
