Experimental plan of experimental communication satellite /ECS/
Abstract
The Japanese satellite ECS is scheduled to be launched into a synchronous orbit in February 1979 and will conduct experiments for one year or more, investigating the feasibility of millimeter-wave communications. This paper gives a brief description of the overall configurations of the system, including spacecraft and ground stations, and presents the experimental design.
