PHOTO 81-- Flight C-27 : September 19, 1982
Outstanding in his field... My father posing next to one of the many rockets he helped to launch...calling the countdown and pressing the ignition switch! In this photo, a collection of the paraphernalia used to support a launch is visible -- the altiscope, landing locator, field equipment box, notepad, pre-launch checklist, and test equipment for setting the PET module. Some other items typically brought to a launch were a camera (still), movie camera, tape recorder, binoculars, transceivers and even a small shovel L |
