This experiment consisted of a 2-in. vidicon television camera which transmitted photography from Mars. It was a photometrically calibrated instrument providing overlapping, selectively filtered, low-resolution pictures and broadband (unfiltered) high-resolution pictures, each nested in a low-resolution overlap. Both types of pictures had approximately a 700- by 380-element format, and an order-of-magnitude difference in resolution between them. Resolution of 500 m/TV line and 50 m/TV line resulted from low (11 deg by 14 deg) and high (1.1 deg by 1.4 deg) resolution pictures taken at a periapsis altitude of 2000 km.
