Very long baseline interferometry observations using the tracking and data relay satellite as an orbiting radio telescope
Abstract
An antenna in geostationary orbit was used for VLBI observations at 2.3 GHz, in combination with ground antennas in Australia and Japan. 23 of the 25 observed sources were detected on orbiter-ground baselines, with baseline lengths as large as 2.15 earth diameters. Brightness temperatures between 10 to the 12th K and 4 x 10 to the 12th K were measured for 10 sources.
