More elaborate and more interesting satellites will be small spheres or cylinders packed with instruments. The best known of these is the MOUSE (Minimum Orbital Unmanned Satellite of the Earth), developed by Professor Fred Singer of the University of Maryland (see diagram). According to Singer, the Mouse will yield a large amount of valuable information. Even on the clearest day, the atmosphere is as opaque to many kinds of radiation as if it were an ocean of ink. But the satellite, soaring above the atmosphere, can measure all kinds of radiation, including the sun's ultraviolet and the primary...
...bypass engine is an intermediate type that stands midway between the turbojet and the turboprop. It has two compressors, each driven by its own turbine through its own shaft (see diagram). Some modern turbojets have this arrangement too, but all the air that is compressed passes through the combustion chambers to form the high-speed jet. In the bypass engine, part of the air from the forward compressor flows around the combustion chambers (incidentally cooling trie engine's skin) and mixes with the speeding gas in the tailpipe. It cools the stream and slows it, but adds greatly...
...secret. But last week, with no official help from the Air Force, unofficial specifications of the F-100 were available in print all over the world. The source: Aireview, Japan's largest aviation monthly (circ. 20,000), which printed classified details of the F-100, including a detailed diagram.

Basic merengue figures are a graceful two-beat side walk and four-or eight-beat spot turns (see diagram). "It's easy," says Manhattan Dancing Teacher Josephine Butler. "You do a fox trot with one leg and a rumba with the other...
...cabinet, may be on its way out. Electronics men have long dreamed of shrinking the tube to a flat plate not much bigger than the picture. The latest Electronics describes one such tube. Designed by the Electronics Division of Willys Motors, it is in an advanced experimental stage (see diagram...
