The second satellite launched by the European Space Research Organization this year achieved polar orbit 3 Oct. Eight experiments on board the 84-kg craft are measuring energies and angles of particles striking the polar ionosphere, the resulting projection of visible light, and changes in the electron and ion density and temperature distribution.
