Abstract
This paper presents the details of the engineering flight tests of the CA-260/25 25-Mpixel tactical reconnaissance camera, performed at Mojave, CA in August 1996. The camera's fundamentals of operation are presented, along with a comparison of features with the earlier 4-Mpixel camera. The paper discusses the purpose, equipment configuration and mission specifics, and summarizes flight test results. Examples of flight test imagery are then presented with some analysis of CA-260 performance.
