TRS Mk.2 (ERS)
TRS Mk3, Mk2, Mk1, OV3, ORS Mk1, Mk2, Mk3 (left to tight) [NASA]
Payloads:
- ERS 11: unflown Prototype
- ERS 12: measured the intensity of charged particles in the magnetosphere. The payload consisted of an omni-directional radiation detector to measure electron levels greater than 0.5 and 5 MeV and proton levels between 10 and 20 MeV and 50 to 100 MeV.
- ERS 13: carried omni-directional radiation detectors to measure electron and proton levels in order to determine the intensity of charged particles in the magnetosphere.
- ERS 14: ?
