Willy Otto Oskar Ley (October 2, 1906 – June 24, 1969) was a German-American science writer, spaceflight advocate, and historian of science who helped to popularize rocketry, spaceflight, and natural history in both Germany and the United States. The crater Ley on the far side of the Moon is named in his honor. In January 1935, Ley fled Germany for Great Britain and ultimately the United States. His book, Rockets, Missiles, and Space Travel was cited in the Space Handbook: Astronautics and its Applications, a staff report of the Select Committee on Astronautics and Space Exploration of the U.S. House of Representatives, which provided non-technical information about spaceflight to U.S. policy makers. Lay later became the curator of the National Air and Space Museum. More

Downey, CA: Rockwell International Space Operations/Integration & Satellite Systems Division, 1981. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], 17, [1] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Staplebound. Prepared for Presentation at EASCON '81 Washington, D.C. November 16, 1981. This paper compares the performance capabilities of six modern readionavigation techniques. Radionavigation employes triangulation methods to establish unknown position coordinates, usually by picking up precisely timed radio frequency transmissions from one or more known locations. This paper briefly describes the operating principles of the Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) and of five other popular radionavigation systems. their capabilities are compared on the basis of such performance parameters as rang and accuracy, coverage, operation frequencies, and system status.

Downey, CA: Rockwell International Space Operations/Integration & Satellite Systems Division, 1981. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Wraps. [2], 11, [3] pages. Illustrations. Bibliography. Staplebound. Prepared for presentation at the 1981 Winter Simulation Conference, Peachtree Plaza, Atlanta, Georgia, 9-11 December 1981. Includes Abstract; Introduction; Navigation Procedures; The Major Segments of the GPS System; Range Error Components; Uniform Distribution of Observations in Time and Around the World; Bibliography; and Conclusions. The Navstar GPS will permit users to determine their positions in real time to an average accuracy of 50 feet anywhere on or near the surface of the earth. This is accomplished through radio navigation techniques in which precise binary pulse trains with chipping rates of 1 and 10 million bits per second are sent out by a constellation of 18 satellites in 12-hour orbits 10,898 nautical miles above the earth. The Navstar system, which is being financed jointly by the various branches of the military, will also be widely utilized by civilian users. Abstract: Six Navistar navigation satellites are presently traveling through space 10,898 nautical miles above the earth. By 1987, the operational constellation, which will consist of at least 18 larger and more advanced satellites, will be providing continuous navigation coverage to a world wild class of civilian and military users. the Navstar satellite constellation will yield routine accuracies nearly 20 times better than any other global navigation system. This paper explores some of the computer modeling methods used by the Navistar system itself and by researchers who have been simulation the military and civilian benefits to be derived from its use.
