... It?s needs solution satellite?s orientation problem for defining location of sources of ionospheric emissions above Earth?s surface with necessary accuracy. There is possibility to define orientation of photometric devices by using TV images of star background. The CCD TV camera is designed for recording of images of star sky, Earth? limb and adjoining part of Earth? surface to fix the orbit point coordinates during the measurements by FAGOT and SICH-F devices. ...
