Hughes Aircraft Company Contract Work Subunit
Description
Material in this subunit documents the 1985-1989 relationship between Bracewell, both as an individual contractor and as a member of Stanford's Space Telecommunications And Radioscience Laboratory (STARLAB), and Hughes Aircraft Company, which formally became a STAR Affiliate in 1989. Areas of interest to Hughes included synthetic aperture radar, aperture synthesized radiometry, and images from radar scans from satellites. The subunit includes correspondence with Hughes and reports on these topics. Reprints, as well as related materials from courses taught by Bracewell, filed by him with the Hughes materials have been retained here. Some of the material is undated, but since filed here by Bracewell is presumed to be from the 1985-1989 time period.
