Abstract: An entire day was devoted to aerospace science and technology and to oceanography at the 102nd Technical Conference held in Chicago, 17 through 22 September 1967. Ten papers on aerospace television occupied a major portion of two sessions. Of the ten papers, Hughes Aircraft authors supplied eight. Two of these papers were concerned with nonlinearity in TV systems and eight were directly related to the Surveyor project. When the first Surveyor landed on the moon and relayed its pictures back to earth it seemed like a happy accident. Since then, many Surveyors have landed on the moon with almost pinpoint accuracy. Soft landing of a Surveyor on the moon provided a means for taking close-up pictures of the moon's surface and then relaying these pictures back to earth via television. It also provided another first: a picture of the earth taken from the moon. Thus, another of man's dreams came true. Some of the problems encountered in providing a proper TV system for the Surveyor and the subsequent solutions are discussed in these papers.—V. D. Armstrong, 102nd Technical Conference Topic Chairman.
