Luc, Great sleuthing. I notice the KS-120 and KS-140 on the control unit, but had no idea what they meant. The astrotrackers for the Hound Dog stayed on the plane, but gave the latest info to the missles before they were launched. I also have two MD-1 units (Father's Day present from my sons last year), but can not understand how the simulator and MD-1- star tracker were connected together. The simulator, from what I can tell, has a Sun, Polaris, and 3 stars and one small port for the light to come out. The MD-1 has a full hemisphere with scanning mirrir inside. Phil
