拍品专文

DODGE (Department of Defense Gravity Experiment) was a satellite whose primary purpose was to conduct experiments in gravity-gradient stabilization at near geosynchronous altitudes (approximately 22,300 miles). Its secondary objectives included measuring the Earth’s magnetic field, and taking pictures of the entire Earth’s disk. It was launched atop a Titan IIIC rocket on July 1, 1967.

This very rare image was taken from about 18,000 miles with a B&W TV camera which took three photographs with red, green and blue filters to create the color image. The small disc in front of the picture is a color match card. Europe, the Mediterranean Sea and West Africa are clearly visible.
