1962年9月29日，阿卢埃特卫星被送入轨道，虽然主要设计为顶部探测仪，但有效载荷中包括一个宽带甚低频(VLF)接收器。由于甚低频实验的操作与卫星上的其他实验不兼容，目前只进行有限的甚低频观测，包括每天一次的4-6分钟的观测，当飞行器在渥太华的遥测范围内时，每周在阿尔伯特王子或决心湾进行3到4次记录，在厄瓜多尔的基多每周进行2次记录。这些观测周期每周安排一次，与其他遥测站的记录一起安排，以便在索洛尔特、渥太华、基多、
N September 29, 1962, the Alouette satellite was launched into orbit and, although designed primarily as a top-side sounder", a broad-band very-low-frequency (VLF) receiver was included in the payload. Since operation of the VLF experiment is incompatible with the other experiments in the satellite, only a limited schedule of VLF observations is carried out at the present time.This includes 4–6 min of observation once a day, when the vehicle is within telemetry range of Ottawa, 3 or 4 recordings per week at either Prince Albert or Resolute Bay, and 2 recordings per week at Quito, Ecuador. Once a week these observing periods are arranged in conjunction with recordings at additional telemetry stations to give consecutive observations at Resolute, Ottawa, Quito,
