Abstract
Several technologies developed for the Transit Navigation System were later transferred to implantable medical devices. These devices includ e pacemakers, the Automatic Cardiac Implantable Defibrillator, and the Programmable Implantable Medication System for the treatment of diabe tes. AII of these applications employ Transit-derived telemetry and co mmand systems for programming and data retrieval. These implantable de vices have been used successfully in patients throughout the world for several decades.
