JAN 01, 1964
Physics Today

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s Goddard Space Flight Center has awarded a contract to Yale University to design and develop a world‐wide system for monitoring radio emissions from the planet Jupiter. The network will be set up to maintain 24‐hour observation of the planet at the frequencies of 16.5 and 22.2 Mc and will consist of four stations, separated from each other by about a quadrant of longitude. One of the stations will be located near the Goddard Center in Greenbelt, Md. The other three will be located at US satellite‐tracking stations at Hartesbeesthoek, South Africa; Carnavon, Australia; and South Point, Hawaii.
