Fred, That's interesting. Today, while exploring a new search engine from Google, I found several indications that CelNav with real sextants and real horizon (!) was used in at least two space missions: Skylab and Soyuz-17. Unfortunately I could not locate complete articles but only their resumes. Alex. On Thu, 25 Nov 2004, Fred Hebard wrote: > I ran into a B-52 pilot who retired in the 80s or thereabouts.
