GENERATION AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ERTS MSS SYSTEM CORRECTED COMPUTER COMPATIBLE TAPES

摘要

This document discusses the generation and format of the ERTS system corrected multispectral scanner computer compatible tapes. Included in the discus¬sion are the spacecraft sensors, scene characteristics, the transmission of data, and the conversion of the data to computer compatible tapes at the NASA Data Processing Facility. Also included in the dis¬cussion are geometric and radiometric corrections, tape formats, and the physical characteristics of the tape.
