Hi all,
I'm trying to find information on this one mission (NASA AFAIK)...
They deployed a satellite which had two long wires extended in opposite directions.
The wires acted as a conducting path for charged particles in the Van-Allen belts and their motion generated electricity in the satellite main body.
I remember hearing about it, but I don't know if the mission was launched, was successful, ITS NAME, etc.
Any information would be grately appreciated.
