...Traditionally, the rulers of the sea have been rakish racing machines of 60 ft. or more with deep, stabilizing keels. But the 38-ft. 8-in.

Its instruments are sending information about solar ultraviolet and X rays, which do not pass through the earth's atmosphere but have effects on its upper layers. Data from the Cinderella satellite may explain radio blackouts and some kinds of weather...
