Evaluated By: IH, TK, CL, ES
1. Shutter Operation (Horizon Cameras): Operational.
2. Horizon Camera Exposure:
a. Take-up (Port): Slightly underexposed at 1./6.8 with a 1/200 second speed.
b. Supply (Starboard): Slightly overexposed when image is present at f/6.8
with a 1/200 second speed. Vehicle attitude results in loss of horizon
imagery on some passes, most noticeable on ascending passes.
3. .Camera Number: Operational throughout the mission where a second?or third
binary record is exposed at the camera-off position. The number is legible
but underexposed.
4. Binary Operation: The binary record functions throughout the film, however,
the index lamp is underexposed. Extra binary readings at the camera-off
positions do not expose the binary index lamp. Double binaries and single
end-of-past markers are present on 42 frames, all occurring on the last
frame before camera-off. Fourteen additional frames throughout the mission
have a single binary recording in association with the end-of-pass marker.
5 Film Metering:
a. The average metering between the supply (port) horizon camera and the
following terrain frame is 0,28" except between frames 73 and 74 of pass
A65 where Metering increases to 0.75"-
b. The average metering between the take-up (starboard) horizon camera and
the previous terrain frame is 0.30" except between frames 72 and 73 of
pass A65 where metering increases to 0.75". Average metering on pre-
vious missions is approximately 0.20",
6. Film Tracking: Normal throughout the film.
8.
Timing Pulses: Readable, but recorded as double images. ?The pips appear
outside the format area, terminating as much as 11.3" from the supply edge
of the last terrain frame of all passes. The gap in the timing pulses,
signifying the center of scan time, is difficult to read, as the lamps
continue to glow faintly with a dim pip imaged on the film. The streaked
pulse signifying the firing of the framing camera operates on the seventh
and eighth consecutive frames on certain passes. Examples: pass A01,
frames 9, 10; 16, 17; 23, 24; 30, 31.
Fiducials:
a. Main camera - The fiducials are slightly ragged but usable.
b. Horizon Cameras - The fiducials are well defined with little or no flare.
9. Light Leaks: A diagonal light leak consisting of two parallel streaks is
present in the second, third and next-to-last frame of some passes, Occur-
ring a total of 20 times throughout the film. Equipment image reflections
occur on 10 scattered frames, usually on the first or last frame of a pass.
Miscellaneous light leaks fog portions of 14 other frames, usually the
last frame of the pass.

10. Static Electricity: Possibly corona static fogging first appears as a di-
agonal streak on pass D06, frames 3-8, occurring at 6.3" intervals along
the leading edge of the film. Static fogging is then present on all other
passe, with the greatest degradation on the third through eighth frames
from camera-on and gradually dissipating toward the end of the pass. How-
ever, the effect becomes more dense and persistent as the mission progres-
ses affecting more frames per pass. Approximately 1000 frames are somewhat
affected by this phenomenon. Pass D40 is a representative example of the
amount of degradation resulting from the corona static effect on this mis-
sion. Edge static occurs intermittently.
11. Pinholes: Pinholes are few in number and Scattered throughout the filM:".
12. Abrasions and Scratches: Present intermittently throughout the photography.
Miscellaneous small scratches occur on approximately 55 scattered frames.
Numerous light, parallel abrasions, that are continuous, are present on
passes A04, A16, A18, r18, A19, A20, D20, A21, D21, A33, A48, A49. These
appear to be handling marks introduced after processing and after the
material left the processing site. Numerous shiny base rubs are present
in a random pattern throughout the film with a specific base rub appearing
continuously 0.75" in from the trailing edge on passes A33, A48) A49, D54.
13. Tearing: None. A transparent splice is present on pass D40 between frames
97 and 98. Manufacturing splices occur on pass A21, frame 8 and pass A53,
frame 26.
14. Water Marks: Few.
15. Pressure Streaks: None present.
16. Processing Streaks: None can be definitely defined.
17. Blistering and Crimping: Blisters are few and intermittent, occurring on
approximately 16 frames throughout the film.
18. Contrast: Low 53%) medium 44%) high 3%.

19, Apparent Resolution: Image quality is good, comparable to mission 9041.
Acuteness of the aft camera appears better than that of the forward camera.
20. Apparent Granularity: Fine.
21. Photo Quality:
a. Main Camera - Degradation due to corona static fogging, and light leaks
results in a rating of "fair"
b. Horizon Cameras - The pOrt horizon camera imagery is "fair," being
slightly underexposed. The starboard horizon camera imagery is "poor"
due to out of focus, multiple images that are slightly overexposed.
22. Camera Operation:
a. Main Camera - A rating of "fair" is assigned to this camera with degrada-
tion due to corona static effects, light leaks, underexposed camera number
and binary index, excessive metering and malfunctioning timing pips.
b. Horizon Cameras - A rating of "fair" is given to the horizon cameras since
degradation is due only to the poor imagery, possibly the result of filter.
problems.
23. Suitability for PI: Due to fogging? and atmospheric conditions, a rating. of
"fair" is given to?thia photography, although imagery not affected by the
above degradations is good. ? - ?
Remarks:
1. Handling marks such as abrasions, crimps and fingerprints are present on
numerous passes and may be attributed to film handling prior to evaluation.
2. Foreign matter consisting mainly of small wax deposits and opaquing material
from the titling process, is present on approximately 85 frames, and obscures
a very small portion of those frames. Examples: passes D40, A51, D53, D55.
3. Emulsion lifted fromthe base occurs on 37 frames and usually destroys a very
small area on certain frames.
4. Creases are present on pass .3140, frame 75. Small indentations are present
on pass A50, every 8.1" along the leading edge of frames 46-58.
Thin desensitized streaks and spots occur on pass D05, frame 31; pass D07,
frame 15; pass D20, frame 45; pass D55, frames 115, 116.
6. Skiving marks are present intermittently throughout the film but are of
little consequence.
7. Excessive vehicle roll occurred after pass A47.
8. The following are descriptions of overlap and film transport for camera
number 92 as determined from approximately the fifth and the last frames
of each pass where possible. Cloud cover, low sun angle and no imagery
may preclude determination of these values in some passes.

of a pass
10 Static Electricity: Possible corona-type static is first evident on pass
A14, from frame 3 through frame 6 and then disappears for the remainder of
the pass.. This pattern exists at the beginning of a pass, and in the cor-
responding frames at the camera-on position of a split pass, through pass
D40. Slight variations may occur where as many frames as the twelfth from
the start of the pass may contain the static pattern. During pass A46,
however, heavy possible corona-type static patterns are present in frame 3,
sometimes covering up to one half of the frame: After approximately 10
heavily fogged frames, this pattern becomes less intense as the pass progresses,

finally dissipating toward the end of the pass. The static pattern differs
in some passes such as pass A49 and pass D56, from the usual static pattern
to a pattern resembling a "sine-wave" curve. Pass D54 is the only pass
after A46 in which there is no static pattern present. As the possible
static pattern dissipates it moves out of the terrain area and is evident
as an arc of approximately 0.375" in length within the leading edge rail
area at intervals of 6.3". Associated with these "arcs" is a light fogged
area,
11. Pinholes: Few are present in this photography.
12. Abrasions and Scratches: A camera-induced scratch is present under the
binary in the terrain format area throughout most of the film Another is
found approximately 5" from the supply edge of the terrain format and is
present intermittently throughout. In addition, other scratches are present.
Examples: pass A02, frames 1, 4, 37-45, 67; pass D06, frames 1, 2, 12; pass
A21, frames 9, 14, 28, 34, 38, 39, 41; pass D39, frames 95-99; pass D40,
frames 61, 110. Few abrasions are present. Examples: pass A18, frame 42;
pass A21, frame 10.
13. Tearing: No tearing is present.
14. Water Marks: None are present.
15. Pressure Streaks: Small shiny base rubs are present intermittently on all
passes.
16. Processing Streaks: None are present.
17. Blistering and Crimping: Few blisters are present on the film. Examples:
pass A01, frames 2, 4; pass A02, frames 13, 44; pass D39, frames 4, 50.
Crimps induced after processing are present intermittently throughout the
photography. Examples: pass A02, frames 12, 67; pass A04, frames I, 2;
pass A16, frames 41, 42; pass A19, frames 3,9. Few creases are present.
Examples: pass A04, frame 2; pass D55, frame 141.
18. Contrast: 60% low, 40% medium, 0% high.
19. Apparent Resolution: Good. Acuity is comparable to mission 9041. Quality
of the aft camera appears slightly better than that of the forward camera.
20. Apparent Granularity: Fine.
21. Photo Quality:
a. Main Camera - Fair. Degradation is due to the presence of light leaks,
possible corona static, scratches and low contrast.
b. Horizon Cameras - Fair. Degradation is due to presenLe of possible
corona static, roll motion of vehicle which negates starboard horizon
camera images after pass A48, and scratches.
22. Camera Operation:
a. Main Camera - Fair. Degradation is due to possible corona static fog-
ging present from pass A14 to end of mission with the exception of pass
D54.
b. Horizon Camera's - Poor. Degradation is due to out-of-focus appearance
of imagery and to underexposure of the majority of the horizon formats.
The out-of-focus condition Of the starboard horizon camera image is
more severe than that of the port horizon.
23. Suitability for PI: Fair. Degrading factors are possible corona static
patterns, approximately 45% cloud cover, and roll motion present in the
vehicle after pass A48 to the end of the mission.

Temarks:
1, No density gradient is present, where the gross fog is heavier at the leading'
edge of the film than on the trailing edge.
2. Handling marks are evident in pass D39, frames 10, 11, 33, 34, 35; pass A50,
frames 4, 6, 7; pass D55, frame 99.
3. The use of a new heat sealing type of mylar splice eliminates the occurrence
of foreign matter clinging to the transferred adhesive. This is an im-
provement over the type of splice previously used. Other foreign matter
however, is present. Examples: pass A30, frames 29, 33; pass A33, frames
12, 13, 14, 15 (grease pencil), 59, 61; pass D39, frames 13, 41, 58; pass
A52, frames 3-8, 10, 21-30, 36-39, 76, 81, 82, 84, 86-90. Opaquing material
is also present. Examples: pass A02, intermittent throughout; pass D04,
frames 20, 21; pass A14, frames 1, 28,
4. Lifted emulsion occurs on a few frames. Examples: pass A01, frames 8, 23;
pass A02, frames 5, 6; pass A21, frames 10, 13, 18, 21, 39; pass D21, frames
3,14,9.
5. The end-of-pass marker is operational throughout the mission.
6. Uniform fogging, due to possible radiation, is not present in this film.
7. Roll motion prevents the recording of the horizon image by the starboard
horizon camera after pass A48.
8. A negative density streak is present throughout some passes located 0.1"
to 0.3" from the leading edge of the terrain format. Examples: passes
A18, D18, A19, D21, A30, D50.
9. The following descriptions of overlap and film transport for camera number
93 were determined for approximately the fifth and last frames of each
pass where possible. Cloud cover, low sun angle and no imagery may have
precluded determination of these values in some passes.
