The paper describes the Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS) placed in orbit in July 1972 and the ERTS simulation high altitude aircraft flights which have been flown for approximately one year. The ERTS satellite and simulation programs were developed to demonstrate the techniques for efficient management of the earth's resources. Two sensor systems were selected for this purpose: a four-channel multispectral scanner (MSS) subsystem for ERTS-A and a three-camera return beam vidicon (RBV) system. Also described are the results of the ERTS-A simulation flights flown at an altitude of 65,000 feet as related to coastal studies. Simulations of both the RBV and MSS in coastal areas are presented.
