...firing, which nudged Mariner II toward outer space at an earth-escape velocity of 25,526 m.p.h.* Command to Jets. Mariner II was now under radio command from California Institute of Technology's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The first order was received and obeyed: large, flat solar panels (see diagram) sprang into position. In a series of maneuvers, Mariner's ten tiny nitrogen jets swiveled the spacecraft until its long axis pointed at the sun. So positioned, the solar panels could absorb the sun's energy, power the spacecraft's electrical system without draining its silver-zinc...
Manner, in order to make a pass at Venus, must travel more than 180 million miles in a curving trajectory (see diagram), even though Earth and Venus are only 69 million miles apart at time of launch...
...have been following the Boston papers since the accident and hopefully watching his progress. This is the first time I really found out what happened to the child. Through your diagram and article I got a clear and concise picture of what has been done...
...carotid body, Dr. Nakayama's research indicated, is not only a junction point for many nerves (see diagram), but, by its responses to minute changes in the composition of the blood, it does much to regulate breathing. Most notably, an increase in the blood's carbon dioxide content sets off a carotid body reaction that can bring on a choking attack of asthma by causing fast, shallow breathing in lungs unable to handle the added load. To suppress these excessive reactions, Dr. Nakayama wondered, why not cut out one or both carotid bodies? After tests on animals...
...restore the arm's circulation. Specialists in blood-vessel repair first made sure the blood would have a way to get out. With neat and delicate sutures, they stitched the arm's two main veins to their extensions in Ev's shoulder (see diagram). Next, they opened a way for the blood to get in by rejoining the major (brachial) artery. Says Dr. Shaw: "When we took off the clamps from the artery above the break, we rejoiced at the pinking up of the arm as the blood ran through it." It was just 3½ hours...
