As a part of its slow error corrections, the Federal Aviation Administration's Wide-Area Augmentation System (WAAS) provides ionospheric vertical delays at geographically fixed Ionospheric Grid Points (IGPs).
The flight data have been combined at JPL with ground GPS data from a global network to routinely produce precise TOPEX/Poseidon orbits.
A complex scientific instrument was designed, fabricated, tested, and calibrated for launch onboard OSO-H. This instrument consisted of four spectroheliographs and an X-ray polarimeter. The instrument is designed to study solar radiation at selected wavelengths in the X-ray and the extreme ultraviolet ranges, make observations at the H-alpha wavelength, and measure the degree of polarization of X-ray emissions.
