(Ted) Bangs, of the Union Oil Company, Sante Fe Springs, California, whi is on loan to DSDP, to inspect a sedimentary core ofdeep sea ooze taken at site 209 on the Queensland Plateau, which is located Northeast of Australia. Water depth at the site was 4,593 feet. A portion of the drilling derrick aboard D/V Glomar Challenger is in the background.

New Satellite weather Antenna-Principal Electronics Technician David Havens turns the wheel which adjusts vertical angle on the new satellite weather antenna installed aboard D/V Glomar Challenger during the port call at Agana, Guam, between legs 59 and 60 of the Deep Sea Drilling Project. The big wheel at the bottom takes care of the horizonal and vertical antenna angles. Information is received from a satellite in stationary orbit and processed by shipboard equipment to produce a weather map which enables the captain, scientists and operations personnel to get weather forecasets 18 hours in advance at any drilling and core site
