  • Abstract
    A simple telemetry system was devised soon after the launch of the Alouette I satellite, to obtain topside ionograms directly from the satellite. The video data from a simple receiver are tape-recorded directly with a basic system costing less than $1000. Additional equipment can supplement the basic system to improve the quality of the data and to produce film ionograms.
