This report describes the TV tracking system, the slow-scan TV system, the KEL ionosonde, and the magnetometer that were operated in support of the PLACES experiment conducted at Eglin AFB, Florida in December 1980. A procedure for determining the proper launch time and aim point for both the beacon rockets and the probe rocket was developed after post-mission analysis of the first two releases. This procedure contributed to a successful beacon occultation for Event IRIS, and a successful probe penetration for Event JAN.
