Scope &
Content | These records pertain to certain missions
flown by the CORONA and LANYARD photoreconnaissance
satellite systems KH-2 through KH-4, KH-4A, KH-4B, and KH-6,
between December 8, 1960, and August 22, 1968. They
consist of plots depicting the comprehensive geographic
coverage of each satellite pass over Asia, Europe, South
America, Africa, and Australia. Passes over Cuba and
neighboring islands are also recorded on these plots. Note
that only those portions of each pass for which photography
exists are included within the pass outlines. Note also that
for the earlier missions areas of complete overcast, water
coverage, and "camera off" have been omitted from the plots,
but areas of limited coverage are included. In later
missions, all frames are indicated, regardless of water
coverage, total cloud cover, or a complete lack of imagery.
By interpolation, researchers may determine the approximate
frame numbers of the primary camera frames taken during
these missions and use that information to access the
imagery itself. Frontspieces to most of the documents in
this series correlate specific photographic coverages for
each pass to specific World Aeronautical Chart geographic
areas. |
