Telemetry ground system
A newly installed antenna sits atop the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School at Edwards Air Force Base, Calif. The antenna is part of a new aeronautical telemetry ground system that will allow airborne data to be transferred to the ground in the C-band frequency range, an addition to the L-band and S-band frequency ranges currently used. The new tri-band system will increase bandwidth and allow more frequencies to be used by both the civilian community and units at Edwards AFB. (Courtesy photo)
