Plate measurement techniques and reduction methods used by the West German satellite observers, and resulting consequences for the observation

The West German tracking stations are equipped with ballistic cameras. Plate measurement and plate reduction must therefore follow photogrammetric methods. Approximately 100 star positions and 200 satellite positions are measured on each plate. The mathematical model for spatial rotation of the bundle of rays is extended by including terms for distortion and internal orientation of the camera as well as by providing terms for refraction which are computed for the measured coordinates of the star positions on the plate. From the measuring accuracy of the plate coordinates it follows that the timing accuracy for the exposures has to be about one millisecond, in order to obtain a homogeneous system.

Biochemical and physiological consequences of the Apollo flight diet.

Six male subjects subsisting on a typical Apollo flight diet for five consecutive days were evaluated for changes in biochemical and physiological status. Laboratory examinations failed to demonstrate any significant changes of the kind previously attributed to weightlessness, such as in serum electrolytes, endocrine values, body fluid, or hematologic parameters.

Observational consequences of Martian wind regimes.

The connection with past and future observations of Mars of the high velocity relief winds deduced by Gierasch and Sagan (1971) is examined with the assistance of a large topographic map of Mars. A unimodal hypsometric curve is derived. Seasons and locales of wind velocities at the half surface pressure level below 80 m/sec, sufficient to lift dust at the surface, are identified. A number of suggestions are made that can be checked by observations with the Mariner Mars 1971 orbiters.

A redetermination of the galactic H I half-thickness and a discussion of some dynamical consequences

We have redetermined the half-thickness of the neutral hydrogen layer of our Galaxy over a significant portion of the disk (R, distance from the galactic center between 1.4 and 16.8 kpc). Four high-resolution 21-cm surveys were employed, and corrections were made for the effects of finite optical depth in the 21-cm line. We find that the half-thickness is approximately constant for R from 4.5 to 10 kpc and averages 260 pc for 0 to 90 deg long and 230 pc for 270 to 360 deg long. Using this thickness in conjunction with a recent galactic mass model, we are able to determine the quantity Q over a large portion of the galactic disk, where Q-squared is the ratio at the galactic plane of the sum of the gas, magnetic, and cosmic-ray pressures to the gas density.
