A principal sensor on board the satellite is the Space-Based Visible(SBV) sensor, a visible-band electro-optical camera designed... to perform the first technical and functional demonstration of space-based space surveillance. The principal task of the SBV sensor is to gather metric and photometric information on a variety of resident space objects(RSO).... Currently, the resident space object(RSO) catalog contains more than 8000 entries, consisting of active and inactive satellites, rocket bodies, and debris, with an active subset of over 800 objects. 2, record 1, English, - resident%20space%20object

We have created a catalog containing observations of over 1000 resident space objects (RSOs) by the infrared (IR) telescope on the Midcourse Space Experiment. These objects, a mix of satellites, rocket bodies, boosters, and debris, were serendipitously detected while the telescope was performing its primary mission. 3, record 1, English, - resident%20space%20object

Les deux photographies sont prises à partir d'une chambre métrique dont les dimensions sont connues. Ainsi, quatre points de la chambre métrique visibles sur la photographie servent de repères. En admettant que chaque photographie forme un plan p, la perspective est formée par l'ensemble des rayons du faisceau perspectif qui partent de chaque point de la surface S du terrain et convergent vers le point de vue S. 6, record 2, French, - chambre%20m%C3%A9trique
