The Skylark sounding rocket has been developed to produce a stable platform for high-altitude remote-sensing experiments. This Report describes the development and performance of photographic payloads carried on three Skylark rockets, one fired from Woomera, South Australia and two from Mercedes, San Luis Province, Argentina. The methods used for prediction of the performance of the photographic systems and the estimation of the required camera exposures are detailed. For each rocket firing the choice of photographic emulsions and filters is detailed and examples are given of the imagery obtained. Measurements made on the imagery have validated the methods used for the prediction of the performance of the photographic systems. The imagery has been assessed and interpreted by the Geography Department of the University of Reading and its findings are referenced. (Author)
