Article Type: research-article
Abstract: Space astronomy is defined. In particular, the requirements for visual exploration of the Moon and Mars are outlined. The slow-scan vidicon is shown to be particularly useful as an astrophotographic instrument for space astronomy. The special instrumentation requirements for a slow-scan vidicon system are described for a Mars mission. Some of the techniques are illustrated with photos taken with a slow-scan vidicon system using as an optical objective the Mt. Wilson 60-in. telescope.
