Canaveral Kids Build Tracking Station
Canaveral youths from eight schools in Cocoa Beach set up a DIY tracking station atop a motel roof to follow Gordon Cooper’s orbital path. The project, run by Don Heintzelman of the Cape Canaveral Post of the American Military Engineers, links a Vero Beach down range site and includes radar scopes, a Mercury-like control console, and a 12-foot high gain antenna as they track at least six of 22 planned orbits.
