I almost asked that in my post, but I figured that the satellite would have something a little more esoteric. :)<div><br></div><div>Speaking of Vidicons... My father worked at Naval Avionics in Indianapolis, IN. They built the Walleye guided bomb. I think there may be a 1960 or 70's vintage Vidicon in the garage that was used in the front of the Walleye.</div><div>FWIW: The television that was in the cockpit was built from a Sony B/W television set. This was probably the late 1960's or early 1970's.</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Apr 3, 2010, at 3:04 AM, <a href="mailto:COURYHOUSE@aol.com">COURYHOUSE@aol.com</a> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">

<div>From the article: "<span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 16px; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; FONT-SIZE: 12px" class="Apple-style-span">TIROS-1, a polar-orbiting satellite, weighed 270 pounds
and carried two cameras and two video recorders. Though the satellite only
lasted 78 days"</span></div>

<div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="LINE-HEIGHT: 16px" class="Apple-style-span">So my question is; what kind
of "video recorder" would you put in a satellite in 1960? I'm also interested
in what kind of cameras it
had.</span></font></div>=<br></font></blockquote></div></font></div></font></div>
