FERS—Former CORE national

To Photograph Farms for Signs of Diseases
When the astronauts of
Apollo 9 return to earth next
week, they may bring
back information that could
help to solve the problems of
hunger. The answer lies in the
performance of a battery of
four 70-millimeter cameras.
Some time after the fifth
day of the Apollo 9 flight, the
astronauts will turn their at
tention to the multispectral
photography experiment
which will be one of the most
important tasks remaining un
til deorbit and splashdown.
One of the areas photographed
will be Arizona farm lands.
Along with U.S. Department
of Agriculture scientists, the
astronauts want to know if
orbital photography can detect
signs of drought and plant
disease - if a certain field
lacks vigor, to find out why:
disease, bugs, drought?
Success could mean that,
when experiments such as this
becOme ' 1 operational, they
could provide information that
would affofd farmers enough
time to sav*'their crops.
Earth pictures for the Apol
lo 9 flight wttte programmed
in part by USDA"s Agricultural
Research Service ahd Forest
Service. While photographs of
the earth hive been taken be
fore by most Of the astronauts,
no one has ever deliberately
shot photos of fai inland. It is
hoped that the four cameras,
operating from a height of 120
miles, will uncover different
types of change in the terrain.
Hie still photographs are
expected to show the type of
crop in large fields, the vigor
of these crops, and whether or
not they are diseased. Similar
information will be obtained
on the nation's timber and
grazing lands.
Four film filter combina
tions, developed over the last
five years, comprise the pho
tographic experiment Apollo
9's astronauts will perform for
USDA: camera 1 exposes only
for green wavelengths; camera
2 exposes only for red wave
lengths; camera 3 exposes only
for near infrared; and the 4th
camera includes film sensitive
to all three color bands.
Scientists believe that the
Apollo 9 cameras will be able
to determine healthy crops
from diseased ones by the way
they reflect sunlight and early
signs of drought by the way
water-starved crops appear in
sequential photos. They pre
dict that ultimately, cameras
snd other more elaborate in
struments in space will be of
great help In assuring the na
tion's food supply.

from altitudes of 1,000-1,500

"In fact, it it my opinion
