Operation 



Prior to operation of the Radar Facsimile 

 Recorder, personnel should refer to the pub- 

 lication NAVAIR 50-30GMH6-1. Complete 



operating instructions are contained in this 

 publication. 



Maintenance 



Servicing and maintaining this equipment are 

 the responsibilities of trained electronics per- 

 sonnel. As with other complex electronic equip- 

 ment the maintenance duties of theAerographer's 

 Mate are limited to keeping the exterior of the 

 equipment clean and promptly reporting any in- 

 ternal difficulties to the responsible parties. 



Safety Precautions 



High voltage is used in the operation of 

 all radar. Extremely dangerous voltages exist 

 in the receiver, transmitter, modulators, main 

 console, and remote indicator. Death on contact 

 may result if operating personnel fail to ob- 

 serve safety precautions. Only authorized op- 

 eration of equipment should be carried out by 

 the operator. All operators must know how to 

 secure main power, both remote and locally, 

 to the set in use. All operators must know 

 how to apply artificial respiration and how 

 to contact immediate medical aid. 



SATELLITES AND ASSOCIATED 



EQUIPMENT 



Since the launching of the first weather 

 satellites in early 1960, we have witnessed the 

 birth of the meteorological satellite as an un- 

 precedented tool for observing broad-scale global 

 data, and its growth into a highly sophisticated 

 global observation system capable of providing 

 innumerable valuable measurements of interest 

 to the scientific community. 



The Television Infrared Observational Sat- 

 ellite (better known as TIROS) that pioneered 

 in worldwide meteorological photography evolved 

 into the ESSA satellite which contained improved 

 camera systems as well as other sensors. 

 Nimbus, a larger, more sophisticated satellite, 

 was designed for the purpose of helping de- 

 velop instrumentation for long-range weather 

 forecasting. Continuing with the advancement 

 of satellite development, the Applications Tech- 

 nology Satellites (ATS) carried meteorological 

 and communications experiments to a 22,300 

 mile orbit, from which they provided spectacular 

 full-earth photographs.
