The technical objectives and payloads for ERTS A and B are discussed. The primary emphasis is on coverage of the United States and the ocean areas immediately adjacent, using 3-camera return beam vidicon TV system, 4-channel multispectral point scanner, data collection system, and wideband video tape recorder. The expected performance and system characteristics of the RBV system and the 4-band multispectral object plane point scanner are outlined. Ground station considerations are also given.
