Scientific paper
Design and operating characteristics of the ESA Geos geostationary satellite are described in terms of the accuracy of its magnetospheric measurements, and the redundant systems constructed to ensure the accuracy. Attention is given to the satellite's boom configuration, which is designed to withstand radiation pressure up to 300 Mrad, as well as to be able to conduct sounding measurements of the local plasma. Magnetic cleanliness is considered critical to Geos performance, and it is noted that the internal magnetism is on the order of 0.3 gamma. The data transmission rate is given as 1,000,000 bit/s in both VHF and UHF modes.
