Planetary Radio Astronomy (PRA) & Plasma Wave Subsystem (PWS)



Two separate experiments, The Plasma Wave Subsystem and the Planetary Radio Astronomy experiment, share the two long antennas which stretch at right-angles to one another, forming a "V".

The PWS covers a frequency range of 10 Hz to 56 kHz. The PRA receiver covers two frequency bands, from 20.4 kHz to 1300 kHz and from 2.3 MHz to 40.5 MHz.
