Institutions Providing Hardware

RPWS receiver hardware was built in four locations:

• The University of Iowa
• Observatoire de Paris, Meudon, France
• CETP, Velizy, France
• IRFU, Uppsala, Sweden

In addition, Iowa oversaw the procurement of the electric dipole antenna system in coordination with Meudon.
