Periscope film is a national treasure

Goldstone has since become a mainstay of space tracking and communications. The unsung stuff of legend. 🖖🙂👍

When this was filmed in 1959, 40 years prior most homes didn't even have electricity. 40 years ago from now was the 80s.. not even a blink of an eye on the cosmic scale.

and two years later a president will say let's beat the Russians to the moon. meanwhile engineers are thinking "how can we have reliable communication and data exchange over a distance of quarter million miles?" there's only one reliable high sensitive antenna dish (at Goldstone).

Operation Paperclip It's the same shiet .. The nazi scientist were the brains behind jets/space. Naza = Nazi

13 yrs later in 1972 pioneers 10 & 11 were launched, gave the first looks at the outer planets, worked for over 40yrs & left the solar system. 🎉

I was 1 year old when this was released, so I missed it. I was more concerned with what I could put in my mouth.

Goood one.. ! thank you , I was 13 then 😀 very well done...!

It must have been exciting to work on collecting data to measure more precisely the Van Allen radiation belts, especially if get to interact with Van Allen himself. It also must have been a huge intent to get some real data if we were going to do something like fly to the moon.

“All work and no play makes Jacquie a dull girl” 2,000 times over

At 14:00 the graphic of Pioneer 3's flight path is out of whack. The ellipse's major axis ought to align with a radius which passes directly through Earth's center. The ellipse's return path should not terminate at the point of launch. It ought to contact the Earth's surface on the other side of the major axis such that it forms a mirror image of the outbound half's point of launch.

From the NASA Archive site: "The spacecraft reached an altitude of 102,360 km (109,740 km from the center of the Earth) before falling back to Earth. It re-entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up over Africa on 7 December at approximately 19:51 UT (2:51 p.m. EST) at an estimated location of 16.4 N, 18.6 E." Because of rocket under performance, it didn't have enough velocity to escape earth or achieve orbit. The graphics does seem to show the end of its path over Africa.

@@armandomercado2248 Yeah. I’m not commenting on the projectile’s real trajectory. I’m saying that the diagram is flawed. This happens sometimes in outreach. Another example is a film released in the late ‘50s which centered Earth on the intersection of the minor and major axes of a satellite’s elliptical orbit. This gave the orbit two perigees and two apogees. There can be only one of each.

@armandomercado2248

I believe the illustration is generally correct. Pioneer 3 never achieved elliptical orbit. This would be a ballistic trajectory with a high point of 102,360 km. No semi major axis involved.

@@armandomercado2248 It _did_ enter an elliptical orbit. It didn’t achieve escape velocity, and did reach apogee whereupon it fell back Earthward. That ellipse had one focus approximately at Earth’s mass center, and it necessarily intersected Earth’s surface at two separate points.

@@qed100 I stand by my comment the illustration is generally correct. Although the scaling is off, it shows the launch point and point of re-entry. If the scaling was correct the trajectory would look more like a straight line going up and then down.

Nonsense. In the near frictionless environment of space it would be like drive a car with an automatic transmission. You get up to speed and coast. You don’t have to have a constant burn. Just a burn to get you to speed. Then enjoy the ride. The only reason you would need a constant burn would be resistance. Whether air which there isn’t any. Or gravitational which you would escape. And barring encountering some other gravitational field.
