OV1-15, also referred to as SPADES (Solar Perturbation of Atmospheric Density Experimental Satellite), was designed to study synoptically the fluctuations of atmospheric density, composition, and temperature as a function of solar magnetospheric disturbances.
The principal active experiment was a triaxial accelerometer that measured satellite acceleration near perigee. Atmospheric densities were then computed from these data. The sphere also contained a c-band tracking beacon for drag density determination. Keyword(s) :
