Calculation to track weather satellites using a small computer / by P.M. Brewster = Calculs pour la poursuite des satellites météorologiques à l'aide d'un petit ordinateur / par P.M. Brewster.: En57-58/784-1973E-PDF
"The sun-synchronous-type satellite orbit is described. Equations are developed that yield antenna look angles for tracking such satellites moving in circular orbits. A computer program is developed to allow the solution of these equations in a mini-computer to permit automated reception of weather satellite pictures and automatic control of the reception system"--Abstract.
