Type of experiment 3 electric antenna systems (two coplanar, orthogonal wire antennas in the spin-plane
and a rigid spin-axis dipole) and a triaxial magnetic search coil mounted at the
outboard end of a 12-m radial boom. The longer and shorter spin plane dipoles have
lengths of 50 m and 7.5 m for each wire, respectively, while each spin-axis dipole
extends 5.28 m from the top and bottom surfaces of the spacecraft.
