Abstract: The video-tape recorder developed for the Tiros Satellite (described by Zenel in the November, 1960, Journal) fulfilled its system requirements completely, and acquired an impressive record of performance. Since then, however, more advanced satellite programs have imposed demands for increased information storage, improved quality of reproduction, lower power drain, less weight for a given storage capacity, and increased reliability under the rigorous conditions of rocket launching and space environment. Specific programs have required additional special characteristics, such as angular momentum compensation and dual-speed operation. A series of different recorder designs has been developed for Nimbus and OGO satellite programs, as well as a number of classified programs. The space-saving features of the Tiros recorder have been retained and new developments incorporated in the new recorder designs to meet more stringent requirements.
