J_Program requirement specs = final revision presented
by Lockheed Missiles anT?S3pace Company of the Lockheed A/c
Corporation 12 January 1963 (1st issue 6 Nov 1962).
Established the tech rqmts associated with creation of a
stereo photographic satellite recon system designated
the "J" Program.
Rqmt to design, develop, test and mfr a complete satellite
recon system to provide stereoscopic photographic coverage
of designated areas of the earth's surface located between
300 N and 800 N latitude. J Program shall utilize existing
COR M coafagaxa?ara design where possible and have the
capability of converting to the COR M configuration.
Photography accomplished with 2 70 mm panoramic cameras mounted
in 300 converging stereoscopic config.
The Agena D vwhicle shall be capable of providing 8 days of
stabilized flight, out of the first 30 days of planned
orbital life, during which time photographs may be taken.
'. Approximately 7800 feet of 70mm stereo photography or
15,600 feet of monoscopic photography may be generated and stored
in the #1 recovery subsystem during first recon phase.
y~;/ 35mm stellar camera and 70mm Index camera photog shall be
generated concurrent with 70 mm panoramic photography and
transported to the recovery bucket via independent film
paths.
After ejection of recovery system #1, the satellite may b
programmed into a controlled tumble for up to 20 days, with
all power to payload turned off. Satellite can then be
re-stabilized for further recon use. Reactivation, followed by
programming remaining panoramic film :load, and re-entry and recovery of
system #2.
Major subsystems: Thrust Augmented Thor (TAT) booster (Douglas)
provided as GFE; Agena D satellite; 2 modified Mk 5A recovery sys-
tems; One modified 70mm COR M panoramic camera subsystem;
2 S-I camera subsystems for attitude-indexing reference;
and a space structure subsystem (payload frame, timers,
interface, flt program equipmS etc.)
