The VEGA Venus balloon radio transmissions received on Earth were used to measure the motion of the balloons and to obtain the data recorded by onboard sensors measuring atmospheric characteristics. Thus the balloons themselves, the gondolas, the onboard sensors, and the radio transmission system were all components of the experiment. A description of these elements is given, and a few details of data sampling and formatting are discussed.
地球接收到的 VEGA 金星气球无线电传输被用于测量气球的运动,并获取由测量大气特性的机载传感器记录的数据。因此,气球本身、吊舱、机载传感器和无线电传输系统都是实验的组成部分。对这些要素进行了描述,并讨论了数据采样和格式的一些细节。
