Description

This issue carries an engineering paper from Bell Labs on satellite attitude control. J. A. Lewis and Edward E. Zajac studied how a satellite with an extended rod and two gyros could keep one face toward the earth, and their paper includes computer-drawn perspective views of the satellite. Zajac’s 1963 film of the same study was drawn on a Stromberg-Carlson SC-4020 microfilm plotter.
