Abstract:
In the Haystack Pointing system, errors caused by atmospheric refraction, gravitational deformation of the antenna, skewed axes and resolver error are compensated for by a correction program in the computer which adds the necessary biases to the geometric values of azimuth and elevation to produce an effectively correct aiming of the antenna.
