Scientific paper

The fourth-stage ignition of Syncom 2 was tracked by the Observatory's Baker-Nunn camera station at South Africa. The film gave values, within +/-4 sec, of ignition time, duration, and burnout time. The unexpected brightness of the actual burn prevented greater accuracy, but the fact that it was easily filmed indicates that the Baker-Nunn system is capable of recording most rocket maneuvers in cislunar space.
