How much of this equipment was used to determine the specifics needed for the Mercury, and Apollo programs?
My understanding is WW2 submarine periscopes used a modified optical system copied from a called a "," that has a lens halfway down the tube that can magnify a very narrow field exponentially, they are still around and are the preferred method of perving on yr neighbors in hi rise tower apartment blocks.
