CONTACTED MOON
As Chief Signal Officer, Maj. -Gen.
Harry C. Ingles, above, helped
supervise the extraordinary feat of
establishing radar contact with the
moon, achieved by Army Signal
Corps scientists from the Evans
Signal Laboratory at Belmar, N. J.
238,857 Miles Distant
Using specially -designed equip-
ment, pulses of extremely high fre-
quency energy were shot into
space at the speed of light -156,000
miles a second—and the echoes
detected some 2,1-2 seconds later.
The moon is about 238,857 miles
distant, on the average, as both it
and the earth move around the
suis.
The Guard Corps experiments
have valuable peacetime as well as
wartime applications, although it
is impossible at this stage to pre-
dict with certainty what these will
be", the War !Department said.

One of the possibilities is the
radio control of long-range jet or
rocket -propelled missiles, circling
the earth above• the stratosphere.
.The German V-2 missiles were be-
lieved to have reached an altitude
of 60 miles.
Peep Sight Used
Another "less likely" possibility.
it added, is the radio control of
"space ships" roaming thousands
of miles beyond the earth's surface,
Still another possible result of
the discovery may be more ac-
curate mapping of the moon's sur-
face with its many visible irregu-
larities. Radar equipment has al-
ready been used to measure much
shorter distances with uncanny az-
curacy.
'A staff of physicists and math-
ematicians ' passed many weeks
computing the relative speeds of
the earth and the noon before the
special radar equipment for the
experiment could be built. When
the set was completed, the anten-
na was "aimed" at the moon op-
tically by means of a peep -sight.
