Background
The photographs from each spacecraft mission are catalogued and indexed to provide reference, of the available photographs, to the public and scientific community. Each mission produces hundreds of photographs which are useful for many different types of discipline studies. As the number of photographic frames grows, it becomes increasingly more important to catalogue and index the photographs.
Objective
The objective of this report is to provide a catalogue and index of the earth-view photographs taken from Apollo 9 and from supporting aircrafts flown during the Apollo 9 mission. The report includes pertinent photographic parameters, e.g. film, filter, altitude, etc., that may be helpful to users in evaluating the images and extracting useful data for analyses.
The report, catalogue, and index are divided into sections by photographic platform, with subdivisions according to film size or sensor type. The text of the report describes the procedures and data content of the catalogues. The various types of photographic catalogues and index maps are included as appendices to the report.
