Now, it's "earth satellites"
The imagination of engineers, scientists, and laymen
alike has been wetted by the exciting prospect of
launching the first man -made earth satellites! Called
project "VANGUARD," it is planned as the high -point
of the world's longest "year" -the eighteen months
between July 1, 1957 and December 31, 1958 of the
International Geophysical Year.
First presented in a symposium, March 20th at the IRE
Convention, this scientific, history -in -the- making event
is detailed well in advance for you in the special June
"earth satellite" issue of Proceedings of the IRE.
Because it is written by men in charge of project development,
this will be the basic textbook of applied electronic
technology in the satellite field.
This definitive issue presents the working data of placing
in orbit, construction of the satellite, telemetering
and other pertinent information. Herein are stated the
objectives and scientific gains to be achieved by the
"earth satellite" program.
You will find in this special issue a complete explanation
of:
I. tracking the missile -by radio and optics,
2. gathering data from the missile -by radio transmission,
propagation, and intermittent reception
from widely separate points on earth -and the
rapid computations to be based on such data.
You will also find practical application of this development
to other electronic fields in this up -to- the -minute
symposium. You'll find the "satellite" issue of Proceedings
of the IRE a publishing event of great value.
Price to non -members ... $2.00
(All IRE members will receive this June issue as usual.
Extra copies to members, $1.00 each.)
