Landsat 3 Return Beam Vidicon (RBV) imagery (EC 62 Landsat)

January 1, 1978

Enclosed is a copy of an early Landsat-3 RBV image of Cape Canaveral printed at 1:500,000 scale. The exposure setting was 5.6 milliseconds (ms) which resulted in some overexposure. With the shorter exposure times of 2.4 or 4 ms, which will generally be used, overall exposure should be more normal.
