<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></BODY></HTML>
