PROJECT ECHO. SATELLITE TRACKING RADAR
Abstract
The radar employed at the Bell Telephone Laboratories' Holmdel, New Jersey site for tracking the Echo I satellite was originally designed for the sole purpose of antenna pointing. Recently, however, it has also been employed to measure earth-balloon-earth path loss at regular interval of time in order to ascertain the balloon's condition. The performance of the system and some of the data obtained are discussed. (Author)
