Photographic Instrumentation of the Gemini Booster

On an average launch of the Gemini vehicle, approximately 50 photographic instruments collect the engineering data. The instruments which expose over 25,000 ft of film, 20,000 ft being exposed in less than 4 min, are three emergency and five surveillance cameras, 18 metric instruments, 20 engineering sequential cameras and five tracking telescopes. A motion-picture film of the actual test has been made to explain the function, requirements and data acquired.
