Testing of the Apollo 15 Metric Camera System.Description of tests conducted (1) to assess the quality of Apollo 15 Metric Camera System data and (2) to develop production procedures for total block reduction. Three strips of metric photography over the Hadley Rille area were selected for the tests. These photographs were utilized in a series of evaluation tests culminating in an orbitally constrained block triangulation solution. Results show that film deformations up to 25 and 5 microns are present in the mapping and stellar materials, respectively. Stellar reductions can provide mapping camera orientations with an accuracy that is consistent with the accuracies of other parameters in the triangulation solutions. Pointing accuracies of 4 to 10 microns can be expected for the mapping camera materials, depending on variations in resolution caused by changing sun angle conditions.
