Beskrivning : Launched before the initiation of France`s operational meteorological satellite program, Péole was designed to test the feasibility of acquiring data, including wind velocity, by reception of telemetry and tracking data from independent earth-circling, constant-altitude, and meteorological balloons. Qualifying tests were made of a gravity-gradient stabilization and attitude system, onboard engineering, and meteorological experimental equipment that were later used on the Eole meteorological satellite.
