Can you be more specific?

I wonder if the WB-57 sensor attempt to be radiometrically calibrated in any sense, i.e. try to be a radiometer as opposed to looking at higher level phenomenology - i.e. did anything fall off.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

I was just looking to see if there was a public list of camera's, radar's etc. that will be observing the flight. <br /><br />I have an ulterior motivation involving validation of certain models...<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

I am asking a complete stranger at SRI about the camera thats on the YB-57 - which is funny, given my legendary shyness.<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

And this, which put me on to some names indirectly:<br /><br />http://www.stsliftoff.com/rtf/eye/eye.htm<br /><br />I just suspect though that radiometrically correct data is not what they are shooting for....<br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

woot - over 2600 posts (many of them utterly worthless) - sounds like my love life, just divide by 100 and keep the utterly worthless part....that's me.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /><br /><br />Wayne <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>"1) Give no quarter; 2) Take no prisoners; 3) Sink everything."  Admiral Jackie Fisher</p> </div>

In the series of all-day RTF briefings back in March or April, one of the presenters listed the sites and cameras which would be in use. I remember posting something about it, but I can't remember what. Perhaps a search through the past posts will bring something to light.

Doc, I heard that US Immigration is bringing in extra shipments of Japanese tourists to the Space Coast due to their penchant for the long lens while on vacation.<br /><br /><img src="/images/icons/wink.gif" /> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><em><font size="2" color="#ff0000">Who is this superhero?  Henry, the mild-mannered janitor ... could be!</font></em></p><p><em><font size="2">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></em></p><p><font size="5">Bring Back The Black!</font></p> </div>
