In a precisely controlled op eration, the 20-tone air supported structure replaced a similar unit used over the last six months for weather - production during con struction of a giant horn anten na, said E. F. Farris local tele phone manager.

The satellite will relay expert mental microwave signals carry ing telephone calls, data signals and television. The temporary radome Is ma de of dacron fibre coated with hypalon sysrthetic rubber, mater ials practically transparent to radio waves. Segments of the material were bonded together to form a single piece some 120, 00 square foot in size. The new radome, like the one] it replaced, is 210 feet wide and] 161 feet high. It has an over-all thickness of .07 inches with a tensile strength rated at 1000 po unds per square inch. Supporting air pressure, which can be adjusted for wind velo cities, varies from about one twe ntieth to one tenth pound per square inch. It holds the radome rigidly in place. The horn antenna covered by the radome weighs 340 tons and is 177 feet long. Built as accur ately as a fine watch, it will tra ck the Telstar satellite - some 3 000 miles in space - smoothly and continuously to an accuracy of better than one-twentieth of a degree. The radome removes so me of the factors that would re duce this accuracy, like wind str ess, icing and rapid temperature changes, Farris said.
