Alouette 1 carried 2 Canadian-developed spacecraft antennae with tip-to-tip lengths of 23 and 45 m, respectively, which were deployed after the satellite was in orbit.
Alouette 1 was followed by Alouette 2 (1965) and by ISIS (International Satellites for Ionospheric Studies) 1 (1969) and 2 (1971).
Alouette 1 and ISIS 2 were launched into near-circular orbits, at about 1000 km and 1400 km above Earth respectively; Alouette 2 and ISIS 1 were launched into elliptical orbits with perigees of 500 km and apogees of 3000 and 3500 km respectively.

 News: The Alouette 3 celebrates 40 Years
A mythical machine, the Alouette 3 was following on the heels of the no less famous Alouette 2, the first turbine-powered helicopter in the world to go into production.
Its novelty resided in the use of a Turbomeca Artouste 3 gas turbine that was greatly derated, i.e.
The Alouette 3, production of which ended at Marignane in 1979, was to have 1437 units built, to which must be added nearly 500 built under licence in India and Romania.

It is only recently that some of the Alouettes have been retired due to their age.
One would be finished in rescue configuration, and feature the olive drab paint scheme common for Swiss Air Force Alouette IIIs, while the other would be in liaison configuration, and painted in the blue anniversary scheme of light aviation wing 4.
But closer examination revealed that despite its age the Heller Alouette III is not a bad kit.

 Satellites - Who is John Chapman?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
John Chapman (1921-79) may not be remembered as one of the most influential people from the 60's, but his work in that decade charted a course for the Canadian space industry that is still being followed today.
After the successful launch of Alouette in 1962 on a U.S. Thor-Agena rocket, Chapman negotiated the launching of three more Canadian satellites: Alouette 2 in 1965, ISIS 1 in 1969, and ISIS 2 in 1971.
All four satellites were launched to study the ionosphere (a charged layer of the atmosphere) and the northern lights, or aurora borealis.

On 12 March 1955, the Alouette 2 prototype took to the air for the first time from the Buc airfield near Paris.
Thus, on 6 June 1955, before a blue ribbon panel of officials and commissioners, Jean Boulet pushed the Alouette 2 up to a record altitude of 8,209 meters.
In 1961, the Alouette was rejuvenated with a more powerful gas turbine engine - the more fuel-efficient Turbomeca Astazou 2 developing 530 hp.

The principal experiment on the Alouette spacecraft was the ionospheric topside sounder, whose two rigid dipole antennas extended twenty-three meters and forty-five meters tip to tip, respectively.
Alouette 2 (launched 29 November 1965) was a modified version of Alouette 1 and included a probe experiment and an expanded sounder frequency range.
The Alouette satellite instruments provided information on electron distributions, their temporal and spatial variations, their irregularities and resonances, the influence of incoming charged particles, cosmic and solar noise, polar cap absorption, solar wind penetration, and ion species in the Earth's atmosphere.

This unique data set is in danger of being lost because of problems with deterioration of the medium and insufficient storage space for the tapes - most of which have never been processed to yield ionograms on 35 mm film.
These data extend from the launch of Alouette 1 in September, 1962 to March, 1983.
In addition, most of the data extending from March, 1983 up to the turn-off of ISIS 1 & 2 in January, 1990 exist only on the original analog telemetry tapes which are currently stored in Canada.

ISIS I was launched in 1969 as the first in the ISIS or International Satellite for Ionosphere Studies series and the third in a series of Canadian satellites sent up to study the ionosphere, in the wake of Alouette 1 and Alouette 2.
As was the case for the Alouette satellites, the RCA Victor Company of Montreal was the prime contractor for ISIS I. Canada stopped using ISIS I on March 13, 1984 but Japan was authorized to keep on using it and did so until 1990.
Unlike the Alouette satellites the ISIS had complex navigational equipment and a tape recorder to record some experiments when they were out of communications range and play back the results when the satellites came over Canada again.

Presently, approximately 200 ISIS 2 satellite passes/month are being digitized.
Since most of the data selected for digitization were not processed into the conventional 35 mm analog film format, the new data base (still growing) is analogous to a new satellite mission with old data (ISIS 2 was launched in 1971).
There are also plans to produce digital topside-sounder ionograms from selected ISIS 1 and Alouette 2 analog telemetry tapes.

The Sud Aviation SE3130 Alouette II in British Army service (Alouette AH.2) was subsequently known as the SA313 derivative under Aerospatiale.
The Alouette was to prove pivotal in the demonstration of versatility under poor weather conditions, when during the hard winter of 1961, it was used by the Army in predominantly civilian rescues for communities isolated by the snow and for airborne replenishment (!) of stranded livestock.
Used as an observation platform, with or without additional sensors such as infra-red thermal imaging or high-intensity lights.
