mapping camera

The mapping cameras had been operating, of course, during every moment of their landing spiral.

"And Dietr, as soon as we make orbit, start the mapping cameras.

The KH-9 carried two main cameras, although a mapping camera was also carried on several missions.

Twelve of the 19 systems flown also carried a mapping camera to aid in U.S. military war planning.

Four re-entry vehicles were carried on most missions, with a fifth added for missions that included a mapping camera.

On Apollo 15, 16 and 17 it also carried a scientific instrument package, with a mapping camera and a small sub-satellite to study the moon.

Its mapping camera would not be able to pick out the lander itself, he said, but might see its shadow or its descent parachute.

The Terrain Mapping Camera in the Chandrayaan-1 lunar mission was used to image the earth during the eclipse.

Images from the mapping camera covering the state of Israel and all imagery from the KH-9's other cameras remain classified.

A History of Military Mapping Camera Development.

The other camera in the SIM bay was the Mapping Camera.

After inspecting the "V-over-H" sensor on the Mapping Camera he retrieved its film cassette.

A mapping camera, panoramic camera, and a laser altimeter were also included in the SIM bay.

The old James Bagley T-1 mapping camera and its multi-lens descendants were still used strictly for aerial mapping.

Instrument payload for an orbiter could include a radio subsystem, laser altimeter, magnetometer, Langmuir probe, and a mapping camera.

Over 7,000 individual frames were captured by the Lunar Mapping Cameras, which resulted in the coverage of approximately 20% of the lunar surface.

On 26 November, the indigenous Terrain Mapping Camera, which was first activated on 29 October 2008, acquired images of peaks and craters.

The data acquired by the Apollo Lunar Mapping Cameras provided important information to scientists and geologists studying and mapping the lunar surface.

However, a multi-lens trimetrogon had been used in the 1919 U.S. Bagley mapping camera, and Germany had heated optics during the Great War.

As with SELENE, the Terrain Mapping Camera of India's Chandrayaan-1 probe did not have enough resolution to record Apollo hardware.

Apollo 15 was the first mission to carry the SIM bay, which contained a panoramic camera, gamma ray spectrometer, mapping camera, laser altimeter and mass spectrometer.

Since the War, the developments in aerial photography have been, for the most part, along the lines of improved mapping cameras to give accurate results which can furnish pictures with more detail and correctness.

Kanchow was used as a photo-reconnaissance base by the Americans, which flew unarmed P-38 Lightning aircraft equipped with an array of mapping cameras on combat missions over Japanese-held territory.

Fairchild Corporation also developed the Fairchild Lunar Mapping Camera (also known as the Metric Camera) for NASA.

It was not an aerodynamically clean object and the structural projections supporting its complex of long-range sensors and mapping cameras made it resemble a cross between a falling brick and a stick insect.
