==History==
During World War II, Cole trained the Royal Air Force on the use of radar. He was also program manager of Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s airborne radar unit. Following the war, he helped launch the Laboratory for Electronics, a company that went public in 1957.〔
An engineer by trade, Cole saw the opportunities represented by the Space Race. He invented a sun angle sensor that helped rockets and satellites maintain their orientation in space. Cole’s invention, which space agencies use even today, provided the impetus behind the launch of Adcole in 1957.
