Says Boston Symphony Conductor Erich Leinsdorf: "He has some sort of beam or antenna, so that he knows what I want almost before...
...cross section; the reflected pulse is scattered in all directions, and the radar reading is relatively weak. As the projectile begins to swing broadside to the radar, however, its radar cross section increases; reflections become stronger. When the satellite's flat rear surface turns to face the radar antenna, the reflected pulses become even more intense. The changing pattern that forms on the radar screen is unique for that tumbling projectile, a distinctive signature that scientists can use to identify and describe it-much as a graphologist uses handwriting to identify the man who handled...
MRDC men are also hard at work devising new techniques for transmitting radio signals in Southeast Asia, where both the dense, humid forests and the magnetic equatorial belt severely limit both range and reliability. Radio engineers have already made tests to determine the type of antenna that will operate most efficiently under these conditions and are scattering very high-frequency radio waves over the forest canopy to distant field receivers...
