The data from Explorer 51 served, among other things, to obtain the angular load distribution around the satellite and compare it with the data of Explorer 31 and model the hydroxyl ion emissions in the Earth's atmosphere.
Os datos de Explorer 51 serviron, entre outras cousas, para obter a distribución angular de carga arredor do satélite e poder comparala cos datos de Explorer 31 e modelar as emisións do ión hidroxilo na atmosfera terrestre.
