MARINER 7 NARROW ANGLE CAMERA |
| TYPE |
IMAGER |
| DESCRIPTION |
The Narrow Angle (NAC) camera had Schmidt-Cassegrain reflector optics without filters.
The narrow angle f/2.4 lens had a focal length of about 504 mm. The optics focused images onto a
vidicon to obtain images of Mars. The vidicon was etched with a 7 x 9 grid of reseaux to aid in
computing the geometric distortions in the digital images. The NAC produced 945 sample by 704 line,
8 bit/pixel digital images after ground processing to produce the image archive.
