Laser tracking experiment on S-66 Polar Ionosphere Beacon Satellite, scheduled for fall 1963 launch, will carry arrays of small reflectors, made of fused silica; laser reflector arrays, riding piggy-back, will be part of first attempt to use coherent light to track satellite; laser mounted on 18in. telescope, will be housed on 60-ft high tower, located 20 mi south of NASA's Wallops Station, Va, and used to optically track S-66 during periods when satellite is illuminated by Sun and tracking station is in darkness; details of reflectors and properties of fused silica; objectives of experiments.
