It is assumed that space vehicle starts from satellite station of Earth in direction of fixed star many light years distant from us, with proper acceleration of roughly 10 mi/sec/sec, which remains constant over proper time, also measured aboard vehicle; due to relativistic Dopper effect, light of star, coming from direction which subtends angle Theta to sourse of vehicle, will change its wavelength and thus its color; mathematical treatment of problem.
