As it rose, the Atlas reported by radio on how it was doing. Digesting this information almost instantly, the ground computer radioed back to the Atlas the proper corrections for making its actual course conform to the programed one. These course corrections were made by controllable vernier rockets and slight changes of the direction in the thrust of the main engine. When the Atlas had climbed above nearly all of the atmosphere, the computer told it to turn...
