Abstract
|
This volume re-publishes Hexagon Mapping Camera Program and Evolution as part of the Center for the Study of National Reconnaissances (CSNR) Classics series. The introductory information explains that while the focus of this history is on the Hexagon KH-9 mapping camera subsystem, it actually provides an overview of the entire Hexagon program and a full discussion of the evolution of satellite photoreconnaissance up to 1982. This volumes author, Maurice G. Burnett, drew heavily on existing secondary source histories for his broader discussion of satellite photoreconnaissance. In particular, he relied on Robert Perry's National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) histories that were available at the time. Burnett also turned to the then Defense Mapping Agency and Aerospace Corporation for additional data in support of his research.
