PROGRESS SUMMARY .
Scheduled percentage of completion - 53.9%
Actual percentage this date - 51.5%
? This month's report marks the achievement of attaining
over 50% of the predicted program effort.
Activity has been high during this report period in the areas
of subassembly, subassembly test, and completion of delivery of many
electronic chassis and components.
We are currently preparing for shipment of the electronic
cables and components which are required for installation of the optical
system in the optical bridge, and the assembly of the stages and other
components at
is proceeding as required. STAT
These items are covered in more detail under individual
task headings.

PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING 28 FEBRUARY 1969
1.0 Progress during Reporting Period
Checkprints received on layouts performed by outside vendors were
determined to be satisfactory. Subsequent schematic modifications were
made on the distortion analyzer, parallax analyzer, video correlators,
and channel selection logic circuitry. The layout work of these assemblies
was purchased. Source control drawings were corrected on all assemblies
in which outside layouts were performed.
Drawings were released on image dissector assembly, correlator chassis
assembly and cable drawings. Purchase orders were placed on these items.
Sub assembly construction began 'during this period. The extender board
and the sum and difference boards were completed. Work also progressed
on the time base generator, modulator, dynode regulator, and video
amplifier boards.
Schedule delays have resulted from various sources. Delays in sign
offs have resulted from customer requests related to chassis assembly,
cables and image dissector holder.
The was closed on six days because of weather
conditions and the intervening holiday. Vendors have also indicated
longer delivery times on the remaining board layouts.
Overall progress to the end of this reporting period is approximately 55%.

There is a serious space problem for the duct work. To help alleviate this
problem, it was agreed that four to six approximately 3" conduits would
be laid through the Stereocomparator's foundations so that various service
and utility supplies may be furnished to the various portions of the Stereo-
comparator without interference with the air conditioning duct work.

MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT
February, 1969
This technical report is for the reporting period from February 1
to February 28, 1969. The report is prepared according to
Specification number DB1001 (as modified).
1. During the month, the entire background program has been
coded, and each subroutine has been individually tested. A
special code-checking driver has been created for each routine
which tests all the permutations and limiting values of the sub-
routine's inputs. The checked-out routines are:
a. TMAT (without earth curvature)
b. MTS
c. XAI
d. T2PAN
e. T2STRP
f. XMX1
g. MATMAK
h. CAMATS
i. YMR
First draft documentation has been prepared for all the above
routines.

Subroutine PTOP, also part of the background system, has
been flowcharted and coded. It is presently in the debugging
stage.
Subroutine REORT has checked-out extensively. This work,
as well as the above, has been done on the CDC 6600 computer
in Palo Alto. Using this computer greatly facilitates debug-
ging, primarily because of the peripheral speeds.
In the non-real time portion of the program, subroutines
a. PARMOD
b. NOCAM and
c. TBSRCH
have been flowcharted and coded. Since these and most of
the other non-real time routines are in machine language,
they must be code-checked using the DDP-516 itself.
Subroutines
a. DA TAIN
b. SCANNER and
c. CONVRT,
which were flowcharted last month, have been coded this month.

Approximately 55% of the total work has been completed as
of this reporting period.

will be flowcharted, coded, and check-out will begin.
A total integration will be started shortly after the middle of
March. The first phase will consist of laying out core storage,
and integrating the real time background programs.
The only pending unresolved technical problem appears to be
how to filter the crosstalk out of the correlator, or whether
this is even necessary.
4. A change to subroutine TMAT has been proposed (incorporating
earth-curvature). Since it will not affect the system integration
and check-out, we are deferring this work until the correlator
filter model and other possible changes are completely specified.

At that time, (possibly early in June), we will estimate the total
additional work required 'and determine whether a change of
scope might be in order.
5. There have been no oral aLi
greements or understandings reached
during this reporting period.
6. No changes or agreements have been made requiring the con-
tracting officer's approval.
7. No other unresolved matters are known to exist.
