The Optic and Photographic Production Section of the Navigation Instruments, Photographic and Training Devices Division of the Directorate of Maintenance keeps the huge cameras operating at their remote sites through Programmed Depot Maintenance. i H yy technology. They give NORAD the precise visibility to assure that nothing slips through the sky undetected that could possibly pose a threat to the peace of the world.

THE BAKER-NUOptical Components are so sensitive that they have a capability 3,000 times greater than that of the unaided human eye. The camera is mounted on a special motorized ring that can turn at predetermined speeds to track and photograph target satellites while they speed through the sky. The speed can be varied from zero to 7,000 seconds of arc per second of time, equivalent to transversing the sky from horizon to horizon in 93 seconds!

THE DARK OF THE MOON is the time when space objects are more discernible to the "eye" of the camera, because the object reflects sunlight against dark the background.

It captured the Comet Kahoutek on film as it came to within 75 million miles of Earth. In 1958, the "Big Eye" photographed the Vanguard I, a spherical satellite as it circled the globe 2,500 miles out in space. This was akin to snapping a picture of a a liber bullet in flight at a distance of 200 miles! NORAD technicians insist that under ideal .conditions their camera system could take a picture of a typical family camper if it were traversing a shadow free area of the moon 239.000 miles away. six-inc- h two-inc- 30-c- 20-fo- ot rrmnii rn ASSOCIATES P.m.
