Abstract :
The OGO-V spacecraft includes in its payload an experiment designed to measure electric field components of electro-static and electromagnetic waves in the frequency range 200 Hz to 70 kHz, using a variety of short capacitively coupled antennas. In addition, the experiment has triaxial search coils, and on-board E-B correlations are performed to aid in distinguishing between the two types of waves. The design goals and instrumentation are described, and a brief account of the in-flight operation is presented.
