On Aug. 27 the first Argus shot sent man-made electrons zigzagging round the earth. The satellite cut through them back and forth, making about 250 passes before its batteries were exhausted on Sept...
...mercury thermometer in your bird. You have to read temperature as an electrical signal." This is done with a tiny "thermistor," whose resistance to current put out by the satellite's batteries varies with temperature. The change affects the frequency of the electronic signal sent out by the satellite's transmitter, thus reporting the temperature to the ground...
...they will register only high-energy particles. Others are sensitive only to particles from one direction. The pulses from each instrument are fed to individual audio-frequency (audible sound) oscillators, changing the frequency of the pulses slightly. These modified audio tones are imposed on the high-frequency carrier wave sent out by the satellite's transmitter. Fed into a loudspeaker, they sound like strange, unbeautiful music...
