ISIS-2 Space Experiment Data Section

ISIS-2 Space Experiment Data Section

    Item #360


    This strip of tape is an authentic piece of experimental data collected by the research satellite ISIS-2.

    The magnetic tape section contains a portion of the raw ionospheric data transmitted directly from the satellite to its tracking station in Antarctica (See tracking station antenna and recording equipement images.)

    The ISIS (International Satellites for Ionospheric Studies) program consisted of three spacecraft launched in the 1960s and 1970s to study the ionosphere and magnetosphere.

    Launched in 1971, ISIS-2 conducted groundbreaking experiments, including ionospheric sounding, cosmic noise measurement, and auroral scanning. It captured the first images of the Aurora Borealis from above, and its valuable scientific observations have been cited in over 1,200 published scientific papers. 

    Although ISIS-2 ceased operations in 1990 due to power loss, it continues to orbit the Earth.

    WE TAKE SCIENCE SERIOUSLY

    You deserve better than craft store science products. And we think learning is more impactful when you're holding a tangible piece of what you're learning about. That's why Stemcell exists.

    We're dedicated to providing the best scientific products available—whether they're fragments of scientific importance, experimental activities, or just interesting things that scratch your curiosity itch.

    With every new product launch, our list of new ideas gets longer rather than shorter. So check in often for our latest projects, and thanks for being a part of our endeavor to make the world a smarter place to live.

    Believe in yourself; for everything else, there's science.

    — TERRY MUDGE, FOUNDER & SCIENTIFIC DIRECTOR
