    The improvement of star positions by photographic methods (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: A brief description is given of the new astrometric camera and of the program on which it is being employed. This is the photography of the southern sky so that each star appears on at least four overlapping plates. Sets of star coordinates measured on each plate are combined with a limited set of provisional meridian places to give an accurate set of relative star positions which are independent of the meridian system together with a set of residuals for each plate-star. The technique is based on a simple geometrical model of image formation on photographic plates. Current investigations are concerned with the elimination of sources of systematic deviation from this model.

    An F1 Schmidt satellite camera and the methods of plate measurement and reduction (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: The f1 Hewitt camera is a field flattened Schmidt system of 60cm aperture. The salient features of this equipment are briefly described. Details of the methods of plate measurement are then given. The plate reduction is carried out in two stages. The plate is first calibrated using the photogrammetric method. The formulae usually quoted have been extended to take account of the large distortion introduced by the field flattening lens. In the second stage, the satellite measurements are reduced to satellite positions corrected for refraction, aberration, and when necessary, phase.

    Properties of hollow square gravitational wave detectors (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Antennas are described with gravitational radiation properties such as polarization, directivity, and scalar and tensor characteristics. These antenna devices are mechanically resonant systems in the shape of a hollow square with fundamental frequencies in the Hz range. An antenna characteristic is that the absorption cross section for quadrupole radiation at the normal frequency of vibration is the same as that of the fundamental if the damping factors are the same. The absorption cross section of quadrupole gravitational radiation is calculated for a class-1 detector of a cylindrical cross section and for a class-2 detector shaped like a hollow square.

    Improvements in Ross type astrometric objectives (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: It is shown that aspheric deformations of the first and fourth elements of the four element Ross objective can be introduced to permit one to obtain improved color corrections for astrometric purposes. The usual monochromatic aberrations are as well corrected as for the standard Ross lens. In addition, one can eliminate or reduce additional aberrations, such as secondary spectrum, chromatic spherical aberration, chromatic coma and chromatic distortion. The resulting objectives are suitable for use as intermediate and long focus astrometric objectives covering large angle fields.

    Introduction to passive nutation dampers (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Coning motion can prevent photographic and TV cameras and other oriented spacecraft experiments from maintaining a steady scan, and it can introduce a ripple in the high-gain communication system. Nutation dampers are used to remove this type of spacecraft instability. The first nutation damper flown in a missile for the stabilization of the gyroscope consisted of a hollow ring that was partially filled with mercury, and the sloshing of the mercury dissipated the nutational energy. A similar mercury-ring damper was used in the Pioneer 1 lunar probe in 1958 and became the first nutation damper to be used in space. Since then many types of nutation dampers have been designed for spin-stabilized spacecraft ranging in size from small scientific satellites to large space stations.

    Dynamic behavior of the mercury damper (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: The dynamic behavior of the mercury nutation damper is investigated. Particular attention is paid to the eccentric annular mercury configuration, which is the final continuous ring phase that occurs in the operation of all mercury dampers. In this phase, damping is poorest, and the system is closely linear. During the investigation, the hydrodynamic problem is treated as three dimensional, and extensive use is made of a variational principle of least-viscous frictional power loss. A variational principle of least-constraint is also used to advantage. Formulas for calculating the behavior of the mercury damper are obtained. Some confirmatory experiments were performed with transparent ring channels on a laboratory gyroscope. Selected movie frames taken during wobble damping are shown along with the results of film measurements.

    Experiment D015: Night image intensification (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: A performance test of a night image intensification system for use as a visual aid by the crewmen in Gemini is reported. The equipment package consisted of (1) image intensification camera; (2) camera control unit; (3) viewing monitor; (4) recording monitor and photographic recorder; and (5) monitor electronics and equipment control unit. Representative photographs are predominantly of lights and clouds. Photographs of three different sections of coastline reveal a contrast between the images of land and ocean. These images range in quality from good to poor.

    Experiment S005: Synoptic terrain photography (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Several tentative conclusions can be derived from the results of the synoptic terrain photography experiment, with particular reference to the results from the Gemini mission. The photographs are additional confirmation of the feasibility and value of orbital photographs for geology, geography, and oceanography. The photographs have proven to be of value in the study of the tectonic problems. Although vertical or near-vertical photography is superior to oblique photography, photographs from the Gemini 12 mission have proven that low oblique photographs, and even high oblique photographs, may be of value for certain situations. The oblique views of the Makran Range were useful substitutes for vertical photographs. Equivalent aerial coverage by vertical photographs would have necessitated a camera altitude of several hundred miles. The oblique views of the Sierra Madre Oriental have been used in the search for structures that are approximately normal to the horizon and are enhanced by the foreshortening because of the photograph.

    Experiment M403: Electrostatic charge (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Experiment M403 was flown on the Gemini 4 and 5 spacecraft in an effort to discover whether the spacecraft could accumulate sufficient excess electric charge to constitute a hazard for later Gemini-Agena rendezvous missions. An attempt was made to measure the electric field terminating on a small area of the spacecraft retrograde adapter section and to calculate the total spacecraft charge from this measured field value. The Gemini 5 instrument was inhibited from responding to electric fields that corresponded to a charge on the spacecraft. However, readings were obtained on the Gemini 5 mission that were of as great or greater magnitude than those obtained on the Gemini 4 mission. This could be interpreted as an indication that the contribution of a net spacecraft charge to the Gemini 4 measurements was negligible. An operational measurement that was performed on a later rendezvous mission was indicative of a very small exchange of charge between the Gemini spacecraft and the Agena vehicle.

    Experiment S013: Ultraviolet astronomical camera (1971)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2005-11-30
    Description: Recordings of the stellar ultraviolet radiation in the wavelength region from 2000 to 4000 angstroms are reported. An analysis of the surface temperatures of the stars, the absorption effects occurring in the atmospheres of the stars, and the absorption effects of the interstellar dust is made from the photographic data obtained. In addition to gathering basic astrophysical data about hot, young stars, the experiment is used to clarify the problems and techniques of uv photography of stars from manned spacecraft.
