Fig. 2.4 Scheme of positioning the antenna systems and photo-hatches on-board of flying
laboratory IL-18. Notation: Antennas: 1, 3 — radio locators with synthetic aperture, wavelengths —
2.0 and 10.0 cm; 2, 6 — trace polarimeters, wavelength — 0.8 and 2.25 cm; 4 — six-channel scanning
polarimeter, wavelength — 0.8, 1.35, 2.25, 10, 20 and 27 cm; 7, 9 — precision altimeter and
interferometer of side looking, wavelength — 2.2 cm; 13 — sub-surface sounding station of

decimetric range; Photo-hatches: 5, 10, 12 — large-format and frame TV, aerocamera; 11, 14 —

radiometers of mm range; 16 — trace radiometers, wavelength — 0.8, 1.35, and 2.25 cm; 15 —

gravimetric and inertial devices; 17 — astro-hatch
