The MKF-6 is designed also for use in aircraft up to high
altitudes (Fig. 11). It may also be used side by side with
conventional aerial eameras, The forward motion compensa-
tion, primarily required for use in spacecraft, is fully
effective also with aircraft missions at flying speeds of
200 km/h at heights up to 3 km, and 600 km/h at up to
10 km, for example, so that high detail visibility on
these photos is ensured. The first practical work with
photos taken through the six channels of the MKF-6
(Fig. 12) from an altitude of 6.1 km and having a scale
originally of 1 : 50,000 included topographic and thematic
mapping together with multispectral interpretation. This
should be a most economical approach especially for de-—
veloping nations or such countries where both thematic and
topographic maps need to be revised.
These first applications, although just the beginning of
a more comprehensive use of the MKF-6 and MSP-4, suggest
the broad variety of possible uses of JENA's multispectral
equipment,
