Description

Nova-1 as the newest addition to Transit was launched on May 14, 1981. Nova-1 has a number of new features. One of these features is the single-axis DIScos COmpensation System (DISCOS) which continuously compensates for atmospheric drag and solar radiation perturbations to the along-track motion of the spacecraft.The Incrementally Programmable Synthesizer (IPS) represents a high-precision, digitally-controlled frequency device which is employed to adjust the high quality master oscillator operating frequency of the spacecraft to a precise 'constant' desired frequency.
