Beskrivning : Kennedy Space center post stamp and Scatha satellite program to learn how to prevent build - up of static electric charge on high altitude spacecraft.
Spacecraft Charging At High Altitudes (SCATHA) was a spacecraft program for measuring the characteristics of the plasmasheath charging process. This program determined the response of the spacecraft to the charging and evaluated the techniques to correct the problem.
Telemetry capability was both PCM and FM, and data could be stored up to 12 h using onboard tape recorders. The planned mission lifetime of 1 year has been surpassed.
