Nkọwa ziri ezi nke interferometry dugara na mmepe nke usoro nsuso Azusa dị ka akụkụ nke Army Air Corps NUL-774 Project, onye bu ụzọ na mmemme Atlas ICBM, na Vultee Field Division nke Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (Convair) na Downey, California. Abụọ n'ime ikike ikike (2,972,047 na 3,025,520) n'ọhịa nke nsuso interferometer bụ James W. Crooks Jr., Robert C. Weaver, na Robert V. Werner, ndị otu Azusa niile. Ka ọ na-erule oge opupu ihe ubi nke afọ 1948, ndị otu Azusa arụpụtala interferometer na-arụ ọrụ na 148.58 MHz.    [citation needed]

N'ime akụkọ ihe mere eme dị ịtụnanya, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) na-arụ ọrụ na interferometers ụda n'okpuru mmiri n'oge Convair na-emepụta Azusa.

Nke a yiri ka ọ dị anya site na Minitrack na nsuso satellite, mana ntụnyere oge, isi nke Minitrack, dị ebe ahụ.   [citation needed]

Within a year, NRL reports from the Viking program were diagramming ground-based tracking interferometers, which relieved the Viking of the burden of signal-processing equipment by computing the missile's position from the ground. Two precursors of Minitrack were evident in the interferometer arrangement. First, only a tiny radio beacon needed to be carried on the Viking itself, an important feature of the Vanguard "Minitrack," in which the prefix 'Mini" applied to the minimum-weight satellite transmitter. The second precursor was the "Lff arrangement of the interferometer antennas which persisted in some early designs of Minitrack, although the final deployed version extended the bars of the "L" to make a cross.[<span title="This citation requires a reference to the specific page or range of pages in which the material appears.
