The first photography exposed on this Mission was on pass D49 after ejection of the "A Bucket" (Mis- sion 1004-1). Mission 1004-2 accomplished 64 revolutions of which 32 were operational (pho- tography was accomplished). The payload con- sisted of 5,858 panoramic frames (2,909 FWD, 2,949 AFT). Seventy-five feet of stellar index film and 135' of film exposed in the terrain in- dex camera was recovered. The characteristics of the photographic take in regard to the pano- ramic cameras is very similar to that of Mis- sion 1004-1, which is considered to be a good mission. The panoramic cameras used on this mis- sion operated well with the exception of soft- spots on the master take and a few other minor degradations. Due to the large difference in densities re- corded within a pass, portions of 19 passes of the master and 25 passes of the slave panoramic camera positives were reprinted at a Special density for the Pl's. The weather was eXceptionally good during ?this Mission, with only 32.5% cloud cover. An- other factor that lends to the favorable overall average of the mission .is that exposures were generally glade while the solar elevation was favorable. The stellar index camera operated poorly throughout the mission. When functioning cor- rectly, stars to the fifth magnitude could be dis- cerned. The--terrain index camera functioned well. The horizon cameras generally Operated well but the port horizon appeared to be con- sistently underexposed. GENERAL FLIGHT DATA Date of Launch: 15 February 1964 .Orbital Parameters: ?

CAMERA OPERATION 1. Master (FWD) Panoramic Carnera No 124: This is the same camera used in Mission 1004-1_ Therefore, as would be expected, the character- istics of the photographic take are very similar: The photography is highly degraded, due to image softness, in an area approximately 1.0': wide along the camera number edge in the first 3 to 15 frames of nearly every pass. This soft imagery extends from 3.0" to 8.0" from the take-up end of the affected frames. There are three small emulsion digs just inside the format adjacent to the carnera number on every frame. A minor Emulsion abrasion extends edge to edge in line with each dig. Minor corona static discharges and occa- sional minor associated equipment shadow-- ?

Horizon imagery in all four cameras is slightly vignetted but the vignetting does not hinder the useability of the horizon arcs for ve- hicle attitude determination. The design of the horizon cameras now employed is-such that slight imagery vignetting, will always be present. 5. Stellar Index Camera No D42/42/37: The- camera operated erratically throughout the mis- sion. There were eight double exposures during the course of .the mission and 37 frames were grossly overexposed and unusable due to the shutter hanging open. The shutter als0 remained open while the film was being advanced on 53 'occasions. Due to the shutter notOpening or not opening long enough to form an image, 25 frames are clear in the first 350 programmed. There were no stellar images after frame 350. The program called for 407 fraines. Thecorrelation fiducial lamps did not function during the mis- sion. Edge static is continuous on both edges throughout. A diagonal plus density band, at- tributed to a light leak, is apparent on nearly every frame. The moon is imaged on frames 298-355. 6: Terrain Index Camera No D42/42/37: The camera operated normally throughout the mis- sion with the exception of a double exposure on frame 5. The imagery recorded is of good quality except for 8 frames affected by.a minor light leak. 7. Collateral Equipment: a. The 200 cycles per second (cPs) fre- quency marks are present on all frames through- out the mission. On the Master (FWD)cameras, the marks are imaged in the format and, being superimposed on the terrain imagery, are not NPIC/TP-17/64 readable except on engineering passes and passes where the imagery is of low density. The frequency marks are printed outside Of the ter- rain format on the slave panoramic camera but are reflected into the format edge. However, they are readable throughout and the reflection does not seriously degrade the pan camera imagery. b. Li gh t number 11 Of the binary data block on the slave camera did not function during the mission. Light number 14 failed on frame 92 of pass D85 and on all subsequent frames. The binary data block of the slave camera tracks into the panoramic format on most frames. The binary data block of the master camera was operational .and readable throughout except on pas D72, frame 54; D85, frame 75; D87, frame 136; D103, franies 5.7 and- 103. The images of the data block on . both cameras is slightly bloomed. c. The terrain and stellar index camera correlation fiducial .marks failed to operate during the entire mission. d: The camera-off marker of the slave camera recorded satisfactorily through pass D56. On passes A56E, A71E and A72E it is . superimposed on the binary word. The camera- off marker of the master camera recorded satis- factorily throughout pass D55.. The mark is superimposed on the. binary word in passes A55E, A56E and A71E. On all. passes after ? A71E, the end-of-pass marker is misplaced and usually appears over the first frame of the 'following pass. e. The camera numbers, although bloom- ed, are recorded and readable throughout. PART II. FILM 1. Film Processing: This section provides a descriptive evaluation of the exposure and the processing, and comments on the exposure, the density, the processing and the physical condi- TOP SECRET RUFF NO FOEIGN DtSSEM Approved For Release,2002/07/ 1. ;CI TOP SECRET RUFF NO FOREIGN DISSEP.4, NPIC/TP- 17/64 tion of the original negative. 'Pertinent data was collected during various phases of the processing and more thoroughly. during the evaluation of the negatives. This.is a standard procedure. The community is informed by cable of any extensive defects in the photog- raph' which . may affect the PI suitability of any mission. Support organizations provided the Pro- cessing center with pre-launch samples of the actual film used on this mission. These samples, along with fresh process control stock, Were sensitornetrically exposed and processed at con- trolled levels of development. A characteristic curve was prepared from these sensitometric strips and is defined as the "Mission Material Processing Curve." ? While the film was being prepared for pro- cessing, it was inspected for physical damage which could cause processing difficulties. -Dur- ing processing, data was recorded giving the processing conditions and film footage locations where processing changes occur. Changes in the normal course of processing which may af- fect the film quality were recorded and, after processing, the original negatives were examin- ed frame by frame for defects and damage. Most of the film on this mission received adequate exposure. The solar elevation varied from a low of -55? on engineering passes A103E and A104E and -5? on operational pass D66 to a high of 68? on pass D103. Acceptable photog- raphy was accomplished with a minimum solar elevation of approximately 4?47' in pass D67, at- a latitude of 71'30' ribrth. The local time at which the exposure was made was 0942. The photographs taken. at the lower latitudes, where the sun was relatively high (30?- 40?), tend to be slightly overexposed. The greatest variation of. density that is directly attributed to exposure is in the horizon images. On the majority of frames from both FWD and AFT panoramic carneras the port horizons did not have optimum exposure. lhe starboard horizons were properly exposed rendering adequa{e density throughout most of the mission. The exposure of the stellar index camera appears to be near optirnurn where not degraded by the various shutter problems. The exposure of the terrain index camera also appears to have been near optimum. Approximately 50 of the film exposed in the pan cameras received intermediate develop- ment, 13T, full, and 37;76 primary. Because of exposure changes dueato variations-in sun eleva- tion and terrain, approximately 50 changes in the development level were made during -the pro- cessing Of the slaile film and approximately 65 changes during the processing of the master film. The gross fog density readings range from a minimum of 0.07 to a maximum of 0.21. The film from both the stellar and terrain index cameras was processed normally. The density of the pan camera photography is near oprimurn considering the latitude.of ter-, rain reflectivities encountered on the mission. 2. Film Degradations: This section lists some of,the more notable film degradations and a few frames on which examples of each can be found. a. Master (FWD) Panorarnic Camera: Corona corona discharges are en ident in the horizon format of several frames after pass D49. (Example: pass DO, frames 1. 2, 20.) Minor corona bursts are also common on the third frame after a camera-on posi-' tion. Examples of this may be found on- pas,-- AT1E, and DTs. On pass D64 and on all subsequent pass- es corona .dischares become more frequent and appear at inter\_als of approximately G.:1".

Photographic Interpretation (PI)Suitability: This is an assessment of the information content of photographic reconnaissance material and its interpretability. A number of interrelated fac- tors are involved, such as the quality of the pho- tography, the -extent of target coverage, scale, weather limitations, and similar considerations. However, the fundamental criteria for assigning a PI suitability rating may be reduced to (a) the scope of the photographic coverage and (b) the degree to which a photo interpreter may extract useful and reliable information from the material. PI suitability ratings are categorized as Excellent, Good, Fair, Poor, and Unusable. These ratings refer to the overall interpretive value of the photography obtained from a particu- lar reconnaissance mission. Individual targets may also be assigned PI suitability ratings if that is necessary or desirable. The standards ?that determine assignment of the various ratings are as follows: Excellent: The photography is free of de- gradation by camera malfunctions or processing faults and weather conditions are favorable throughout. The imagery contains sharp, well- defined edges and corners with no unusual dis- tortions. Contrast is optimal and shadow de- tails, as well as details in the highlight areas, are readily detectable. Observation of small _ objects and a high order of mensuration are madeopossible by the consistently good quality of the photography. . Good: The photography is relatively free of degradation or limiting atmospheric condi- tions. Edges and-corners are well-defined. No unusual distortions are present. Detection and accurate mensuration of small objects are feas- ible, but to a lesser degree than in material rated as "Excellent". Fair: Degradation is minimal but the acuity of the photography is less than optimum. Edges and corners are not crisply defined and there is loss of detail in shadow and/or highlight areas. Detection and identification of small objects are possible but accuracy of mensuration is reduced by .the fall-off in image quality and the less- than-optimal contrast that prevails. Poor: Camera-induced degradations and/or weather limitations severely reduce the ef- fectiveness. of the photography. Definition of edges and corners is not sharp. Only gross terrain features and culture may be detected or identified and distortion of form may exist. Accurate mensuration of even large objects is doubtful. Unusable: Degradation of photography com- pletely precludes detection, identification and mensuration of cultural details. 2. PI Suitability for Mission 1004-2: The PI TOP SECRET RUFF NO FOREIGN DISSE-tit Approved For Release 2002/07/01 : CIA-RDP78T05439A000500050005-0 25X1 Next 7 Page(s) In Document Exempt Approved For Release 2002/07/01 : CIA-RDP78T05439A000500050005-0 TOP SECRET RUFF NO FOREIGN CISSEM suitability for this mission is considered to be good in that fine detail is readily discernible. through most of the mission. Photo interpreters reported on 140 targets in the preliminary tar- get read-out of which 95-', were given quality ratings of poor and the remainder a rating of good. Snow was the degrading factor on 657, of the targets receiving poor ratings while haze was to blame for the remaining 35-c. Highlights of the mission coverage are as follows:. a. Discovery of construction and activity observed at a missile test center. b. Discovery of construction at a nuclear weapons proving ground. c. Clear count of aircraft at a military airfield. d. Identification of a radar array. e. Discovery of a large area of new con- struction. Mission 1004-2 produced imagery only slightly inferior to the best ever attained by. the KH- 4 system. The degradations that are present and the problems encountered that have a direct -bearing on PI suitability are as follows: Corona Static - The degradation of imagery due to the effects of corona discharge is minor on both panoramic cameras. Light Leaks - Diagonal patterns and equip- ment shadowgraphs are usually present on one or more of the first five frames and on the last three frames of each pass on both the master' and Slave .panoramic cameras. The fog caused by the light leaks is minor but it does have a degrading effect. A good example of the various fog patterns may be observed on- pass D64, frames 4 and 5. These light leaks are- a result of the -camera design and are not an anomaly. Scratches and Abrasions -- Four small emulsion digs at each edge of the format, adja- cent to the camera number, appear on most frames of the master camera. Although these digs are small, had a target fallen in this area, NPIC/TP-17/64 it would have been degraded or lost. - Atmospherics - 32.657, of the photographic take of this mission is obscured by clouds.. Eighty-two known targets were not reported due to atmospherics. Haze degraded 5 targets ,to such an extent as to be rated poor for pho- tographic interpretation'. Solar Elevation - Most photography was ac- complished while the solar elevation was favor- able and little imagery was lost. Image Motion - The first few frames after each camera-on position display this condition. The slow camera speed at the beginning of pass becomes more pronounced as the mission pro- gresses. The PI suitability is highly degraded on the affected frames. Minus Density Comets - While each comet is very sfnall, the large number of them en- coiintered on this mission makes them a de- grading factor. Minus Density Spots - The small minus density spots on the take of the slave camera Suspected to be roller-induced crimps would obscure any imagery within their path. Soft Spots - The imagery within the area described as being of "soft focus" on the master camera is highly degraded and of little use to the :pi . The image distortions inherent in the KH-4 camera are common throughout the mission. Pass D62, frames 17 FWD and 22 AFTare good examples. Plus and minus density streaks associated with areas of heavy density (clouds) are noted intermittently throughout the mission. 3. Mission Information Potential (MIP): The MIP is an arbitrary nuriaber, not limited by terminal values, which is subjectively assigned to the Panoramic photography of a mission and which compares it to the other KH missions. It is meant to be a measure of the camera's maxi- mum capability for recording information, dis- TOP SECRET RUFF NO FOREIGN DISSEY TOP SECRET RUFF NO FOREIGN DISSEM NPIC/TP- 17 '64 counting adverse atmospheric conditions, mini- mal solar elevations, camera malfunctions or other factors which reduce the quality of the pho- tography. The NIIP is based on the best photog- raphy found in a mission, even though the pho- tography may be limited to a few frames. Since? these frames are considered the best in the miS- sion, they do not indicate the overall success, average quality, or general interpretability of the photography. Criteria for selection of an MIP frame: a. Eliminate all portions of the mis- sion affected by system malfunctionS. b. Select frames which are free of clouds and atmospheric attenuation.' c. Eliminate the first ten frames sand last frame of a pass as these may be af- fected by incorrect scan speed. d. Select frames that are in a con- tinuous- strip of approximately ten cloud- free frames, as cloud shadows from distant weather fronts are cast for great distances. e. Determine from the horizon cam- eras that the panoramic photography is not affected by apparent vehicle perturbations. f. Select targets that are near the ? center of format and on frames as close as possible, to perigee for scale purposes and to eliminate obliquity. g. Select frames having near optimum solar elevation, thus eliminating frames having either overexposure or underex- ? pos ure. ? h. -Select a high contra-st target (pre- ferably an airfield) and compare the target to a previous mission which has been given an MIP rating. 4. NIIP For Mission 1004-2: Utilizing the criteria set forth in the preceding items, pass D62, frame 23 AFT was selected as the MIP frame for this mission. The mission was given an MIP rating of 85 and is comparable to Mission 1004-1 (also MIP 85). The photographic scene covers a city and airfield which are located near the center of the format. Image quality is such that runway mark- ins; aircraft engine nacelles (on larger air- craft), and vehicles in parking lots and on high- ways are discernible.

EDGE SPREAD FUNCTION In an attempt to establish an objective meas- urement of image quality in photography, the technique of obtaining the spread function from microdensitometric edge traces is being inves- tigated. The spread function curve represents the whole photographic system, and is a sum- mation of the separate elements: lens, film, and uncompensated image "motion due_ to vibration, velocity, roll, pitch, yaw, and aerial turbulence. To assign a single number to the spread function, the width is measured at SO percent amplitude. This number, usually expressed in microns, .may be converted by use of the scale factors to ground distance in feet. Edges meeting the criteria described below have been found in domestic passes of missions in the same frame as resOlution targets and have been scanned. The ground distance in feet, thus determined, has been close to that determined from the resolution target. Although the tech- niques used are not refined and are considered to be still in the development stage, the potential of this type of objective analysis should be re- alized. The two examples of edge scans and their respective spread functions are included as a preview of this type quality analysis. Any optical image can be thought of as being composed of an infinite number of image points (or lines) of light, each being conjugate with points (or lines) in the object. While the. object points can be infinitesimal light sources, the image points are alWays mounds or distributions of light having finite size. This blurring of light points in a photographic system comes from diffraction and aberration in the lens, light sprading and diffusion in the emulsion, and image motion caused by camera movement and atmospheric shimmering. The fundamental building block of the image then is the distri- bution of light in any of the image points. This distribution is called the spread function of the photographic system. Lamberts and others have explained the mathematical and experimental correspondence of a sharp edge and its spread function. An analogy exists in the techniques of studying electrical system response. The analysis re- quires that the source or object fulfill the condi- tions of a unit step function, i.e. exist for an ap- preciable time or distance at a fixed signal level and instantaneously or abruptly change to a new level which is maintained for an appreciable time or distance. The spread function is obtained by differentiating the signal output curve point by point (i.e. measuring the rate of change or sig- nal with time or distance, and plotting signal amplitude versus time or distance). As a-starting point the mission is examined to locate examples of best photography with edges long enough and straight enough for use in the rnicrodensitometer, and having uniform den- sity on each side of the edge to fulfill the condi- tions of a unit step function. This requirement is usually achieved by rooftops of buildings in large-scale photography, and aircraft runways in small-scale photographs. The microdensitometer used is a Joyce- Lobel Double Beam Model III C. It is used with an effective slit of one micron by 125 microns_ The recording table and sample table are direct- ly linked with a ratio arm of 1000:1. The speed of the scan is variable and is determined by the amount of pen deflection (as the pen is deflected the speed decreases giving the pen time to reach its maximum response). The chart thus pro- duced represents a plot of chart displacement versus distance. This plot is manually smoothed by the analyst and is a judgment of what the edge would be if grain and other anomalies were absent. ?? TOP. SECRET RUFF NO FOREIGN,DISSE.P. LWJ TOP SECRET RUFF NO FOREIGN DESSEM NPIC/TP-17/64 The data reduction is done manually at pre- sent, but the feasibility of using the UNIVAC 490 computer is being investigated. The micro- densitometer calibration curve (chart displace- ment to density) is used to determine the den- sities at equal distance increments along the trace. The I) Log E curve for the material-(den- shy to log exposure) is used to determine the Log E and therefore the exposure requtred to produce the determined densities. The alues of E are plotted against the distance across the edge to produce the original scene reflectance distribution as recorded in the negative. The final step is a determination and plotting of the slope of this curve (dE/dX) versus distance, point by point. This last plot is the spread function for the whole photographic system. . The width of the spread function curve is measured at 50 percent of maximum amplitude and is indicated on the enclosed traces.

APPENDIX E. MISSION COVERAGE STATISTICS 1. Plottable Coverage: The following is a summary of plortable coverage for this mission given in linear nautical miles (ln/nm) and in square nautical miles (sq/nm). The figures are the sum of both master and slave photography, and exclude coverage which is entirely over water or completely cloud covered.11 25X1A In Table 1, a mean cloud percentage value has been calculated for each category for use in determining a combined cloud-cover percentage for all operational passes of the mission. The occurrences of each 'cloud category within an operational pass is expressed as a percentage and. appears in Table 2. Each per- centage is a .ratio of the number of occurrences of a given cloud-cover category to the total num- ber of cloud observations in a photographic pass. For example: if the.number of category 1 Oc- currences in a given pass is 200out of a total of 1000 (250 frames x 4 quarters), all categories combined, then 20 percent of the pass would be as in category 1. A cloud-cover percentage per pass is in- cluded in the last column of Table 2 under "cloud- cover percentage per pass." This value is de- termined by the summation of the products category percentage in each pass and the mean cloud percentage for that category as established in Table 1. For example: it is determined that the following percentages exist in a given pass: 20 percent 15 percent 30 percent 25-percent 10 percent Category 1 Category 2 .Category 3 ? Category 4 'Category 5 2. Cloud Cover: This statistical analysis of cloud cover on Mission 1004-2 is based on cloud coVer per quarter segment of each frame of - photography. The data are obtained by analysts trained in estimating cloud cover by designated categories. Five cloud categories have been formulated for use on this photography. These categories allow for-the wide latitude of cloud-cover condi- tions commonly found on a frame- of this photography. covered. Then, by using the mean cloud percentage established in Table 1, the following computa- tions are made: 0.20x 5.0 = 1.00 percent 0.15 x 17.5 = 2.63 percent 0.30 x 35.0 = 11.40 percent - 0,25 x 75.0. = 15.75 percent 0.10 x 100.0 = 10.00 percent TOTAL 43.76 percent.
