ROCKETRY I t was found t h a t the r a d i a t i o n e f f i c i e n c y f o r t h i s arrangement was too low, f o r the l a t e r spheres, a boxed-in s l o t antenna, extending over h a l f the circumference of the sphere, was used. This arrangement had a higher r a d i a t i o n e f f i c i e n c y and was easier to construct and tune.
