Since the panel's aluminum sheets vary in thickness, they will be able to distinguish between meteoroids of different energy. Pegasus will store all such information and hold it until it gets a radio command to transmit its observations to the ground...

About 17 hours after launch, the command came from its masters at Pasadena's Jet Propulsion Laboratory to prepare for the critical mid-course maneuver. Dutifully Ranger writhed in space, turning its gleaming golden body as it was told. It fired its small rocket engine for 59 seconds, and when it had writhed back again to cruising attitude, JPL scientists predicted that it would hit inside...
