Abstract :
WHEN a guided missile is launched from Cape Canaveral, Fla., it is first tracked and controlled by the radar and radio equipment at Cape Canaveral. As the missile progresses down range, the tracking and control is transferred from station to station as the missile passes out of the range of one station´s radar and radio equipment into the range of the next station´s radar and radio equipment. Likewise, the reception of telemetering data from the missile is transferred from station to station as the missile progresses down range.
