Once a plane's instruments sense that radar signals are bouncing off it, they identify the type of pulses, memorize them and then retransmit them. But the apparent radar echo is sent back with a different interval between pulses, or with the pulse altered-or both. Ground-based radars that decipher the new signal are likely to locate their target in the wrong part of the sky. As one electronics expert told Aviation Week...
Within the next week or so, Burch and his commission are expected to issue a long-overdue solution. It seemed certain last week that the commission will authorize CATV operators to retransmit distant signals and to get into the business of pay TV. In return, they will have to set aside certain commercial time and a percentage of their gross revenues to reimburse weak local UHF stations, U.S. public (educational) television and the Hollywood copyright owners of their relayed shows...
...extremely close security, JPL picture experts are now poring over the fine print of the digital data and putting each picture through five or six different processes to accentuate whatever features showed up. To make doubly sure that they have extracted all possible information, JPL scientists may let Mariner retransmit all its picture signals for comparative study...
