Electronic and Motion-Picture Systems in the Space Age

Barton Kreuzer

During the past five years our Society's interests have been changed beyond prediction by plans to explore and use outer space. The established areas of our industry have continued predicted trends: film and video-tape uses have increased in television broadcasting and closed-circuit television; audio-visual interests have grown and now include 8mm sound film; and our occupation with photographic and electronic systems in research, engineering and documentation has grown. Our role in the Space Age has been to develop weather and communication satellites and systems for lunar and interplanetary space exploration for which we have designed TV and motion-picture systems. These will have an impact on the industry particularly in the education and high-speed photography fields and by way of miniaturization and ruggedization.
