Angstrom

The angstrom is a unit of length equal to m; that is, one ten-billionth of a metre, a hundred-millionth of a centimetre, 0.1 nanometre, or 100 picometres.

See SOLRAD 7B and Angstrom

Arcetri Observatory

The Arcetri Observatory (Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri) is an astrophysical observatory located in the hilly area of Arcetri on the outskirts of Florence, Italy.

See SOLRAD 7B and Arcetri Observatory

Galactic Radiation and Background

Galactic Radiation and Background (GRAB) was the first successful United States orbital surveillance program, comprising a series of five Naval Research Laboratory electronic surveillance and solar astronomy satellites, launched from 1960 to 1962.

See SOLRAD 7B and Galactic Radiation and Background

Geocentric orbit

A geocentric orbit, Earth-centered orbit, or Earth orbit involves any object orbiting Earth, such as the Moon or artificial satellites.

See SOLRAD 7B and Geocentric orbit

Injun (satellite)

The Injun program was a series of six satellites designed and built by researchers at the University of Iowa to observe various radiation and magnetic phenomena in the ionosphere and beyond.

See SOLRAD 7B and Injun (satellite)

Low Earth orbit

A low Earth orbit (LEO) is an orbit around Earth with a period of 128 minutes or less (making at least 11.25 orbits per day) and an eccentricity less than 0.25.

See SOLRAD 7B and Low Earth orbit

National Reconnaissance Office

The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) is a member of the United States Intelligence Community and an agency of the United States Department of Defense which designs, builds, launches, and operates the reconnaissance satellites of the U.S. federal government.

See SOLRAD 7B and National Reconnaissance Office

National Rugby League

The National Rugby League (known as the NRL Telstra Premiership due to sponsorship) is a professional rugby league competition in Australasia which contains clubs from New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and New Zealand.

See SOLRAD 7B and National Rugby League

OSCAR 3

OSCAR 3 (a.k.a. OSCAR III) is the third amateur radio satellite launched by Project OSCAR into Low Earth Orbit. SOLRAD 7B and OSCAR 3 are Spacecraft launched in 1965.

See SOLRAD 7B and OSCAR 3

Poppy (satellite)

POPPY is the code name given to a series of U.S. intelligence satellites operated by the National Reconnaissance Office.

See SOLRAD 7B and Poppy (satellite)

SECOR

SECOR (Sequential Collation of Ranges) was a series of small United States Armed Forces satellites launched in the 1960s for geodesy measurements that precisely determined the locations of points on the Earth's surface, particularly of isolated islands in the Pacific Ocean. SOLRAD 7B and SECOR are satellites of the United States.

See SOLRAD 7B and SECOR

Signals intelligence

Signals intelligence (SIGINT) is the act and field of intelligence-gathering by interception of signals, whether communications between people (communications intelligence—abbreviated to COMINT) or from electronic signals not directly used in communication (electronic intelligence—abbreviated to ELINT).

See SOLRAD 7B and Signals intelligence

Solar cycle

The solar cycle, also known as the solar magnetic activity cycle, sunspot cycle, or Schwabe cycle, is a nearly periodic 11-year change in the Sun's activity measured in terms of variations in the number of observed sunspots on the Sun's surface.

See SOLRAD 7B and Solar cycle

SOLRAD

SOLRAD (short for "SOLar RADiation," sometimes presented as "SOLRAD") was an American series of satellites sponsored by the US Navy in a program to continuously monitor the Sun. SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD are 1965 in spaceflight.

See SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD

SOLRAD 3

SOLRAD (SOLar RADiation) 3 was a solar X-ray satellite, the third in the SOLRAD program. SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD 3 are satellites of the United States.

See SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD 3

SOLRAD 6

SOLRAD (SOLar RADiation) 6 (also called SOLRAD 6A) was the sixth solar X-ray monitoring satellite in the United States Navy's SOLRAD series, the third in the series to successfully orbit. SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD 6 are satellites of the United States.

See SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD 6

SOLRAD 7A

SOLRAD 7A was the seventh solar X-ray monitoring satellite in the SOLRAD series, and the fourth to successfully orbit the Earth. SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD 7A are satellites of the United States.

See SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD 7A

SOLRAD 8

The SOLRAD 8,Explorer 30 or SE-A satellite was one of the NASA SOLRAD (Solar Radiation) program that began in 1960 to provide continuous coverage of solar radiation with a set of standard photometers. SOLRAD 7B and SOLRAD 8 are Spacecraft launched in 1965.
