Abstract: This paper discusses the engineering and scientific aspects of a spacecraft television system designed to perform preliminary topographic reconnaissance of portions of the surface of Mars. The system consists of a single camera, shutter system with a specially developed slow-scan vidicon. Engineering mechanization is discussed in terms of the mission constraints and desired scientific results. Test and calibration techniques are described and typical system performance capabilities illustrated.
