...four-color map of the sky can be obtained by observations from the satellite for seven months, the scientists calculate. Key to probing space with such relatively simple telescopic satellite are the ground stations, of which at least two will be needed...

Part (but only part) of Wilson's growth may be traced to the announcement last spring of plans for a new Dormitory Quadrangle to replace Wilson Lodge.
