The Eole satellite is described, in terms of major dimensions and receiver/sender frequencies. Information transfer is at 1536 bits/second. The electronic circuits are illustrated and major technical features outlined. These comprise a quarter of the total weight of the satellite and include 750 integrated circuits. A block diagram summarises the data collection systems through the links: earth station-satellite-duplexer-process unit-duplexer-balloon-detectors. The satellite was used in 1972 in conjunction with the L55 light-weight buoy, and has involved about 450000 man-hours by skilled personnel.
