Metric remote sensing experiments in preparation for Spacelab flights

Aerial and ground photographs of Wallis mountains and of Dolomiti di Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy were made using spectrozonal emulsions and optical multichannel filters. A metric camera was used in the perspective of the first Spacelab flight aboard the space shuttle. Elementary forms of alpine geomorphology and ice or snow phenomena are detectable on these metric scenes.
