U.S. Coast Guard cutters at sea. U.S. Coast Guard sailors on cutters in heavy seas. A sailor looks through binoculars from the observation deck. Another sailor looks through binoculars, keeps a watch, and informs the crew of a submarine sighting. The cutters attack and drop shells into the water. Massive underwater explosions. The crew mans and fires the deck gun. A pilot readies his plane. Oil from a leaking submarine floats on the water surface. Cutters at sea. A Coast Guard sailor and a SPARS (Coast Guard Women's Reserve) walk along the New York harbor. The Statue of Liberty in the background. The New York skyline as SPARS march. Voice narration in part by James Cagney and Ginger Rogers.
A woman runs towards a U.S. Coast Guard Vought OS2U Kingfisher floatplane on the shore. She hands over a paper to the pilot in the cockpit. Crew prepare and push the plane towards the ramp, and then slide the plane off the ramp into the water. The woman stands back and watches as the plane taxis in the water and takes off. A light house off shore. Narration by James Cagney.
Space Communications and the related problems and developments. Animation: Additional factors introduces into Space Communications by transmission and reception of data. Frequencies and bandwidths applicable to Space Communications. Factors to be weighed while considering bandwidth: Available power and transmission system required. Narrower bandwidths used to conserve power, they're also less affected by noise interference. Depicts consumption of power by television, spoken word and teletype bandwidths. Telemetry: low bandwidth and power consumption. Explains Telemetry. Theory of Modern Communication and Binary digits or BITS. Depicts information required from outer space like: radio activity level of the moon's surface, abundance of water vapor in the Martian atmosphere, and variation in surface temperature of Mercury. Telemetry utilizes relatively small bandwidth and thus used as preferable mode of communication for research vehicles.
Space Communications and the related problems and developments. Animation: Use of video for Space Communications requires highly directive antennas for power economy. Depicts enlargement of capture area of antennas located at terrestrial reception points. Efficiency in signal processing of the receiving equipment increased, to reduce intrinsic noise by reducing temperature of components. A satellite in Earth's orbit for space and terrestrial communications. Explains the Passive Sattelite Relay System using reflecting spheres; Single Orbiting Active Satellite System using line of sight communication, ideal for weather forecasting and mapping; and the sophisticated active Day Period Cry Satellite Orbiting System equipped with transponders.
