...team has been hurt by the loss of their numbers two, three and four players. Claire Stuart, number two, has left the team while traveling to Peru, Lorraine Uhlaner and Beth Goddard, numbers three and four, have both been out of action due to illness...
...largely ignored painting, sculpture and craft that stretches from colonial America to the 20th century-is inexorably spiraling: it affects every type of object from embroidered samplers to John Singleton Copleys, from decoy ducks and Windsor chairs to Hudson River School landscapes, and especially for fine antique furniture (a Goddard-Townsend kneehole desk that fetched $12,000 in 1957 recently sold for $120,000). The scramble for Americana is on. But only in America; there are no transatlantic clients...
...twin sensing systems have already proved their worth. Last month, ERTS suffered a mysterious power surge that temporarily affected the stabilizing jets and caused wild gyrations. To protect the satellite's three RCA vidicon cameras (which make up one of the sensing systems), controllers at NASA'S Goddard Space Flight Center shut the cameras down until they could locate the problem and send new instructions to the satellite's computer. Meanwhile, the other system, a multispectral scanner built by Hughes Aircraft Co., was fully able to take up the observational slack...
...looked about like any other summer camp. Boys were kicking soccer balls, skimming Frisbees and grousing about the lack of girls. Then the public address system crackled, and all 100 of them-two selected by each state -rushed to the recreation hall to hear Dr. Isidore Adler of the Goddard Space Flight Center discuss the problems of mapping the moon...
Built by General Electric for NASA'S Goddard Space Flight Center under a $174.6 million program, ERTS cannot see objects smaller than 300 ft. across, but it has very acute color perception. Each of its three RCA TV cameras responds to a distinctly different wave length of light-green, red and near-infra-red. Transmitted to earth, the three separate images can readily be combined into a single, detailed color picture, and ERTS can produce a total of 9,200 pictures a week...
