5.2. EXTRACT FROM SPX 352
29 December 1983 The SPX Bulletins are issued monthly by the IUWDS World Warning Agency for Satellites at the World Data Center A for Rockets and Satellites, Code 601, Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 USA, and are distributed regularly to the COSPAR National Spacewarn contacts for satellite information and to Satellite Warning Agencies for their distribution to interested institutions in their countries or regions. Paragraphs A and B of these Bulletins are not being reproduced as they would duplicate the list given in Section 1 of the Survey of Satellites and Space Probes. Paragraph C hereunder contains information not previously published in this Bulletin. This information is being included regularly in each issue of the Bulletin. C. Spacecraft Particularly Suited for International Participation (Catego?y I). 1. Spacecraft with essentially continuous radio beacons on frequencies less than 1.50MHz, or higher frequencies if especially suited for ionospheric or geodetic studies.
