A description of the two aeronautical mobile satellite experiments utilizing NASA's Advanced Communications Technology Satellite (ACTS) is presented. The low bit rate experiment is principally a Ka-band technology demonstration of a prototype 4.8 Kbps aeronautic mobile terminal employing three experimental active electronically steered arrays. The high bit rate experiment can demonstrate a 64 Kbps to 384 Kbps satellite link between a ground terminal and an aircraft.
