The Radio Astronomy Explorer Satellite, a Low‐Frequency Observatory [PDF]
The Radio Astronomy Explorer satellite (RAE‐1) is the first spacecraft designed exclusively for radio astronomical studies. It is a small, but relatively complex, observatory including two 229‐meter antennas, several radiometer systems covering a frequency range of 0.2 to 9.2 MHz, and a variety of supporting experiments such as antenna impedance probes

Electronic spectroscopy of cold ions in a radio-frequency trap [PDF]
The low density of ions in mass spectrometers generally precludes direct absorption measurements. The spectrum of ions can nonetheless be obtained by using resonance two-color photofragmentation or multiphoton photofragmentation techniques.
