Two identical television cameras, each having a long and short focal-length capability, were carried aboard the spacecraft for the reconnaissance of Venus and Mercury. These telescopes were used in conjunction with a filter-wheel assembly and a focal-plane shutter to provide an image on a slow-scan vidicon tube. The results obtained with this system are discussed, giving attention to aspects of sensitivity and questions related to focal length and geometric distortion.
