Proposed Improvements in the SDC Spacetrack Optical Operations Based on a Study of Sky Brightness and Extinction Effects in Limiting the Baker-Nunn Camera System.
Abstract
The report is the result of a six month study of the problem of atmospheric extinction and sky brightness effects on the performance of the Baker-Nunn Camera System. This study included the construction of a special sky brightness photometer, the conduct of 30 days of observation in conjunction with the Edwards AFB camera, and the analysis of the results.
