"Capabilities and Limitations of Space Communication Systems."
The paper "Capabilities and Limitations of Space Communication Systems" is part of a General Electric Technical Information Series prepared for the Apollo Support Department. The abstract states "A survey and study of the basic parameters of information transfer systems for space communications is presented in this paper, to familiarize systems checkout and on communication engineers with the state-of-the-art and trends in this field. Both current and anticipated requirements for space communication systems are briefly considered. Some of the problems that exist in space communication are presented, along with a general review of current communication systems, their capabilities, and limitations as well as possible improvements in the areas of spacecraft directional antennas, ground stations and antennas, spacecraft transmitter power, and telemetry systems. It is concluded that the increased capabilities expected by the end of this decade should make adequate and reliable space communication possible for most predicted communication needs of future space missions at lunar and near-planet ranges." -
"Cape Kennedy Visit."
Konrad, Klaus, Ingeborg, and Betty Dannenberg and little George visit Cape Canaveral. This film shows them touring the vehicle assembly building (VAB). Shown is the drive up to the building, a bit of outside footage, and then the inside of the building, although this didn't come out very well due to poor lighting. Konrad Dannenberg's note on the film box reads, "Cape Kennedy visit / Car trip to the VAB, the LUT - inside inspection of VAB (inside shots are very dark!)." 1967. -
"Carbon-Burning Nucleosynthesis at Constant Temperature."
"Carbon-Burning Nucleosyntesis at Constant Temperature" is part of the Orange Aid preprint Series in Nuclear Astrophysics, August 1968. The abstract states "Syntesis of elements during thermonuclear burning of carbon is examined at a series of temperatures (T=0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, 1.4) and for several initial compositions. Recent eperimental results (Ptterson, Winkler, and Zaidins 1968) for the 12C+!@C reaction are used. A general method for numerical solution of nuclear-reaction networkds is described. At the higher temperatures in the range now thought to be appropriate for carbon burning in stars, -
