Description
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Aerial Photography
data set is a film archive of photographs from the Lyndon B. Johnson Space
Center (JSC) in Houston, Texas, and the NASA Ames Research Center in Moffett
Field, California. In 1965, the JSC initiated the Earth Resources Aircraft
Program and began flying photographic missions for Federal Government agencies
and other entities involved in remote sensing experiments. Beginning in 1966,
NASA conducted an Earth Observations Program, including Earth surveys using
aircraft platforms.
Photographs from a variety of NASA programs provide project-specific coverage
over the United States, Grand Bahama, Jamaica, and Central America at base
scales ranging from 1:16,000 scale to 1:450,000 scale. Film types, scales,
acquisition schedules, flight altitudes, and end products differ, according to
project requirements.
