Interview with Tom W. Hamilton / byJose Alonso.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/733102185

Tom Hamilton describes his efforts, beginning in the 1960's, to improve the accuracy of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's Deep Space Network's (DSN) ranging and tracking data. The improvements in the DSN led to discoveries about the atmosphere of Mars, as well as providing capabilities that could be used in other areas of scientific research, such as very long base interferometry. For a period of time, he was also involved in the Low Cost Silicon Array (LSSA) Project at JPL.
