A method is described for obtaining cartographic and geodetic data from a manned orbital satellite. The techniques utilized are a boresight camera, which simultane ously photographs a particular point on the ground and the coaxial star field, and a laser for obtaining slant range. These, together with an accurate spacecraft ephemeris, will obtain data on angle coordinates and elevation of particular points along the orbital trace of the spacecraft with respect to a primary control station. Particular instrumental requirements are given for the star-field camera and the laser ranging device. (Author)
