Considerations for Automatic Real-Time Flight Determinations

Earle B. Brown

Methods currently used for the reduction of tracking data are extremely costly. Availability of “real-time” data is highly desirable. Capabilities and requirements are discussed for “Super-Theodolite,” an automatic, real-time theodolite with three specific techniques: electronic angular measurement, analog-to-digital conversion, and measurement of focal-plane tracking error.
