The polar-orbiting spacecraft consisted of three major structures: (1) a hollow torus-shaped sensor mount, (2) solar paddles, and (3) a control housing unit that was connected to the sensor mount by a tripod truss structure. These structures gave the spacecraft a configuration somewhat like that of an ocean buoy.","keywords":"","status":"","publicationState":"","identifier_set":[],"observationCollection":[],"parentProject":null,"subProject":[],"responsiblepartyinfo_set":["https://catalogue.ceda.ac.uk/api/v2/rpis/130462/?format=json"]}
