MARCE data evaluation

The Get Away Special (GAS) 007 Project Explorer Experiment data recorded and radio downlinked by the Marshall Amateur Radio Club Experiment (MARCE), the first GAS radio experiment, are compared and evaluated. A compatibility assessment, of the student experiments and the MARCE power, control and data systems, during the STS-61C Columbia flight in January 1986 is presented. Analysis of the GAS container's thermal environment, located near the center of the GAS Bridge is discussed.
