PRELIMINARY RESULTS FROM CONVAIR 240A MISSION 50, 12 JUNE 1967, OVER MISSISSIPPI DELTA AREA.

Abstract

On June 12, 1967, Test Site 128 (Mississippi Delta) was overflown on three flights by the NASA Convair 240A aircraft equipped with multispectral sensors as a part of Mission 50. The data obtained was studied to determine its quality and scientific value. Twenty-seven percent of the color photography taken by the RC-8 metric camera was judged to be useful. Many potentially useful photographs were lost due to untimely film changes. The sediment-boundary could easily be seen in the RC-8 photography. (Author)
