The quality of the communications links between satellites was tested. The interaction between the VLF and ELF waves, generated by the conducting tether, and the SHF and YHF electromagnetic waves, generated by the 20/30 GHz transmitters were investigated. The ionspheric electron density irregularities was measured by means of phase-coherent RF transmission between the two vehicles. The motion of the tethered satellite was observed through the Doppler link established between the shuttle and the satellite. The technology and deployment of spaceborne antennas of large diameter was tested.
