KLEIN FOR MILITARY AIRCRAFT BEACONS & DEVELOPED BY SPAR FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS STEM ANTENNAS WERE USED FIRST IN CANADA ON ALOUETTE-ISIS SATELLITES AS WELL AS MANY U.S. SATELLITES& EARLY MANNED CAPSULES. USED ON ALOUETTE SATELLITE SOUNDER TO GATHER DATA FROM IONOSPHERIC IONOSPHERIC SOUNDING ACTIVITIES (TOPSIDE SOUNDING). STEM ANTENNAS WERE A DESIGN INNOVATION THAT ENABLED SATELLITE SOUNDERS TO HAVE VERY LONG ANTENNAS REQUIRED (UP TO 45 M.) FOR NEWLY UTILIZED FREQUENCY RANGES INSTEAD OF MUCH SHORTER ANTENNAS PREVIOUSLY AVAILABLE. A1 STEMS WERE FIRST TYPE DEVELOPED FOR ALOUETTE & WERE FOLLOWED BYSMALLER A2.
