A proposal is made for an Ariane launch vehicle payload satellite containing technological and scientific experiments. Technological experiments proposed are: a three axis altitude system, a star field sensor, an ion direction sensor, an RF position sensor, time measurement equipment, a hydrasine propulsion unit, and a modular telemetry-telecommand system. Scientific experiments are: measurement of the geocoronal and interplanetary scattered radiation in the UV and investigation of the plasmapause. The configuration of the passenger satellite is detailed, and a mission plan described.
