It is reasserted that the Gum nebula is not a single nebula but appears to be composed of several different entities. All the surveys of the southern sky in the continuum, recombination line, H I, and OH were considered. The large amount of high frequency radio emission from the small nebula is noted. The outer part of the Gum nebula has not been seen in any radio observations so far. Only the inner part has been observed to date. It is not justifiable to work out any parameters for the whole nebula by taking an average over the whole solid angle subtended by the big nebula. There appears to be a large difference in density between the small nebula and the big one.
The range and Doppler radio tracking close to the sun made it possible to measure solar plasma dynamics. These were measured by means of a method known as differenced range versus integrated Doppler, which exploits the opposite change of group and phase velocity as the plasma density changes along the radio raypath. A simple solar plasma propagation model is proposed.
Earth-based radio tracking data types are considered, which involve simultaneous or nearly simultaneous spacecraft tracking from widely separated tracking stations. These data types are conventional tracking instrumentation analogs of the very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) of radio astronomy-hence the name quasi-VLBI. A preliminary analysis of quasi-VLBI is presented using simplified tracking data models. The results of accuracy analyses are presented for a representative mission, Viking 1975. The results indicate that, contingent on projected tracking system accuracy, quasi-VLBI can be expected to significantly improve navigation performance over that expected from conventional tracking data types.
The design considerations and performance parameters of a satellite-borne instrumentation system are discussed. The system is designed to make radio astronomy measurements at eight discrete frequencies from 50 kHz to 3.53 MHz. These measurements are to detect solar and Jovian radio frequency bursts and to determine the average cosmic background radiation level down to 50 kHz. Procedures used for preflight and inflight calibration of the radiometer and the ground support equipment used for preflight testing are described.
The almucantar radio telescope development and characteristics are presented. The radio telescope consists of a paraboloidal reflector free to rotate in azimuth but limited in altitude between two fixed angles from the zenith. The fixed angles are designed to provide the capability where sources lying between two small circles parallel with the horizon (almucantars) are accessible at any one instant. Basic geometrical considerations in the almucantar design are presented. The capabilities of the almucantar telescope for source counting and for monitoring which are essential to a resolution of the cosmological problem are described.
