The device will zoom skyward soon from Vandenburg Air Force Base in California. Data transmitted by the special ionospheric polar beacon satellite will be received by an A&M re search group headed by Dr. John J. German, electrical engineering professor. He is assisted by grad uate students Glenn Gaustad of College Station and Wayne F. Wil son of Cushing. JERREL B. JONES, assistant professor of electrical engineering, has helped the group make prep arations. A&M SATELLITE TRACKING STATION Jerrel B. Jones, left, and Glenn Gausted inspect instruments German said data will be ob tained by special antennas mounted on top of Bolton Hall and by re ceiving and recording equipment in the building. “A&M’s IBM 709 computer will be used in the work,” German said. “Signal amplitude and time will be auto-correlated during tracking with aid of the computer. The A&M team is to be advised of the satellite’s position in its first orbit so that it can begin tracking.” Pineapple Jaice The perfect juice for all-around use 46-Oz.

Eleven are in the United States. The other 43 are scattered throughout the world. German said NASA is using the S-66 to collect data for Faraday rotation studies (to provide inte grated electron content), for scin tillation studies (information on size and shape of ionospheric ir regularities), and doppler studies (orbital and electron content infor mation) . “THE TEXAS A&M GROUP has already been receiving data from many of the 200 satellites now in orbit,” the professor ex plained, “and has been able to adapt and improve its equipment for greatest effectiveness for the S-66 program.” He said the S-66 is capable of information on geographical ex tent of regions of irregularities without confusion due to daily effects. The satellite’s blazing speed is the reason. “In addition, the fact that a satellite commonly changes height in its passage across the sky can give information on the height of the irregularities, German pointed out. The S-66 will pass over the North Pole during orbit. In future work, the A&M group hopes to operate with two fixed stations and a mobile unit, Ger man said. LOOK!
