Moon Radio to Respond to Signals from Explorer II
Temple City California Institute of Technology scientists announce Explorer Ti will carry a radio capable of turning its high power transmitter on and off in response to signals. Dr Henry Richter says American scientists can control transmissions easily. Russians would struggle to activate instruments. All data will be shared with International Geophysical Year participants for decoding and analysis. Explorer II carries two transmitters, including a high power unit readable by amateur operators.
