Flashing Star Satellite To Be Launched This Year
Washington plans a flashing star satellite to map the earth precisely. NASA, in its semiannual report to President Eisenhower, expects launch perhaps next fall after the April-September 1959 period. The satellite will flash a light photographed against stars to determine position within 50 to 100 feet at about 1000 miles up. It aims to improve measurements of earth size and shape and reveal orbital irregularities. The report also outlines the first Tiros weather satellite with two cameras to view cloud cover, and a later Tiros II with infrared detectors.
