Tracking and radar telemetry preparations for NASA project Mercury orbital flights

Animated map showing planned orbital flight paths planned for Project Mercury and associated telemetry and radar tracking installations worldwide. Chart notes some sites operated by the U.S. Air Force Air Research and Development Command (ARDC). Views of telemetry and radar tracking installation at Mercury network station 17, located at site A-20, Eglin AFB. Operator at control console setting azimuth and elevation controls of the Active Acquisition Aid (AGAVE). (This device is designed to receive the spacecraft telemetering signals and automatically track it, in angle, with sufficient accuracy so the radar can lock on to the spacecraft.) The Aquisition Aid quad helix antenna is seen rotating.

NASA Project Mercury spacecraft tracking facility at Eglin AFB

Operators at work in NASA Project Mercury tracking facility at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida. An FPS-16 operator at control console.Other equipment seen include time signal receiver and time standard equipment. Several technicians are seen, some performing diagnostic testing of equipment.. (Note: The FPS-16 units originally planned for the Project Mercury tracking network did not have adequate displays and controls to reliably acquire the spacecraft during orbit. So NASA had them modified to double their range and also incorporated data-handling equipment to facilitate transmissions from all sites to the Mercury Project computers.)
