Abstract: Beginning in 1966, NASA will put a series of unmanned photographic spacecraft into orbit around the moon. These will photograph fairly large areas of the lunar surface at high resolution. Exposure is on film, which is processed on board and then read out for transmission to earth. These received signals are recorded on film by means of kinescopes at the tracking stations. The general design and operation of this photographic system are described.
