CONANT Mechanical Brain Aids Science Study CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (UP) —A robot moonwatcher to day fixed precisely for the first time the orbit of the Russian satellite’s rocket. An IBM mechancal brain, work ing' nightlong, determined that orbit on the basis of photographs and visual observations of the rocket which trails the world-gird ling satellite. Dr. J. Allen Hynek of the Smith sonian astrophysical observatory said the orbit previously had been estimated by radio signals. "But this,” he said, “is the first orbit derived from actual photo and visual observation. It is sub ject to change, however, as we do further checking on the data. Getting Somewhere "This means that we’re really getting places in our studies of the satellite.” The mechanical brain is set up at nearby Massachusetts Institute of Technology. On the basis of the computa tions, Hynek said, the "period of the third stage rocket the. time it takes for the missile to circle the globe is 96.03 minutes. The third stage rocket traverses the globe almost exactly 15 times a day.” He said the minimum altitude was figured at 143 miles and the top altitude at 583 miles. Scientists now will be able to predict accurately when the rock et will zoom over a given point on the globe, Hynek said. Previously, the observations were limited to estimates which had proven rela tively accurate. Credit to Brain Hynek said much credit goes to the machine itself. “There were no flaws whatsoever in the ma chine operation,” he said. Dr. Gian Rossoni, satellite co ordinator for IBM, directed a six man team doing the computation work. Earlier today, four scientists on a rooftop here spotted what they believed was the rocket but a group of observers in a plane missed the show. IBM data was compiled and processed through the night and the machine produced an answer in 21 seconds. The same compu tations would have taken a 12 man crew eight hours to work out the equations for the answer. The machine makes 40,000 calcu lations per second.
