APPLICATION OF A SENSITIVE TELEVISION SYSTEM TO OBSERVATION OF ARTIFICIAL EARTH SATELLITES,
Abstract
The application to satellite technology of the contemporary television system increases the sensitivity of observation by about 100 times, compared to ordinary photography. Once such a system is established, a satellite can be tracked and its position recorded. The television camera is described as having an objective lens with a diameter of 80 mm; at the photocathode the image taken appears with a scale of 17' per 1 mm, which is sufficient for application to regulation and control of satellites.
