To accomplish the various tasks which comprise this job, the Instrument Operations Division is organized into five branches, each responsible for a specific segment of overall instrument operations. These branches include the Photographic Laboratory Branch, the Optical Instrumentation Branch, the Timing and Telemetry Branch, the Metric Electronics Branch, and the Atmospheric Studies Branch.
