Abstract

Electromagnetic Sciences, Inc., GTRI, and Millitech have teamed on a contract to NASA Langley Research Center to develop and deploy a space-borne, four-frequency, millimeter wave instrumentation sensor designed to characterize the plasma boundary layer on reentry. This paper describes the experiment, the system, and special features of the waveform and processing to solve the unique problems encountered in such an experiment.
