Keyhole (KH) satellite systems- KH-9 acquired photographs of the Earth's surface with a telescopic camera system and transported the exposed film through the use of recovery capsules. The capsules or buckets were de-orbited and retrieved by aircraft while the capsules parachuted to earth. The exposed film was developed and the images were analyzed for a range military applications.

The Keyhole (KH) satellite system KH-9 (Hexagon) operated between 1971 and 1984. The imagery generated are of historical interest and expected to support current scientific research on climate change and related fields of inquiry. Almost all of the imagery from this camera was declassified in 2012 as a continuation of Executive Order 12951, the same order that declassified CORONA. A subset of this declassified data was transferred to the U.S. Geological Survey's Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center. Please check the coverage map in EarthExplorer to verify the extent of coverage for the subset of images available from EROS. The Available images are primarily over the United States, Antarctica, and the Arctic Circle.

The KH-9 program was designed to support mapping requirement and exact positioning of geographical points for the military. The KH-9 panoramic cameras captured high resolution (2-4 feet) images and the terrain camera captured high resolution (2-4 feet) images and the terrain camera captured moderate resolution (20-30 feet) images. High resolution images were acquired on 6.5 inch wide variable length film. The moderate resolution terrain camera acquired images that were printed to 9 inch wide variable length film.

The digital products are produced from a duplicate positive film source. The use of browse imagery provides an opportunity to determine if the area of interest is covered and to check for cloud cover. The original film sources are maintained by the (http://www.archives.gov) National Archives and Records Administration (NARA).

The first generation of U.S. photo intelligence satellites collected more than 860,000 images of the Earth’s surface between 1960 and 1972. The classified military satellite systems code-named CORONA, ARGON, and LANYARD acquired photographic images from space and returned the film to Earth for processing and analysis.

The images were originally used for reconnaissance and to produce maps for U.S. intelligence agencies. In 1992, an Environmental Task Force evaluated the application of early satellite data for environmental studies. Since the CORONA, ARGON, and LANYARD data were no longer critical to national security and could be of historical value for global change research, the images were declassified by Executive Order 12951 in 1995.

The first successful CORONA mission was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in 1960. The satellite acquired photographs with a telescopic camera system and loaded the exposed film into recovery capsules. The capsules or buckets were de-orbited and retrieved by aircraft while the capsules parachuted to earth. The exposed film was developed and the images were analyzed for a range of military applications.

The intelligence community used Keyhole (KH) designators to describe system characteristics and accomplishments. The CORONA systems were designated KH-1, KH-2, KH-3, KH-4, KH-4A, and KH-4B. The ARGON systems used the designator KH-5 and the LANYARD systems used KH-6. Mission numbers were a means for indexing the imagery and associated collateral data.

A variety of camera systems were used with the satellites. Early systems (KH-1, KH-2, KH-3, and KH-6) carried a single panoramic camera or a single frame camera (KH-5). The later systems (KH-4, KH-4A, and KH-4B) carried two panoramic cameras with a separation angle of 30° with one camera looking forward and the other looking aft.

The original film and technical mission-related documents are maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). Duplicate film sources held in the USGS EROS Center archive are used to produce digital copies of the imagery.

Mathematical calculations based on camera operation and satellite path were used to approximate image coordinates. Since the accuracy of the coordinates varies according to the precision of information used for the derivation, users should inspect the preview image to verify that the area of interest is contained in the selected frame. Users should also note that the images have not been georeferenced.

On February 24, 1995, President Clinton signed an Executive Order,
directing the declassification of intelligence imagery acquired by the
first generation of United States photo-reconnaissance satellites, including
the systems code-named CORONA, ARGON, and LANYARD. More than 860,000 images of the Earth's surface, collected between 1960 and 1972, were declassified with the issuance of this Executive Order.

Image collection was driven, in part, by the need to confirm purported developments in then-Soviet strategic missile capabilities. The images also were used to produce maps and charts for the Department of Defense and for other Federal Government mapping programs. In addition to the images, documents and reports (collateral information) are available, pertaining to frame ephemeris data, orbital ephemeris data, and mission performance. Document availability varies by mission; documentation was not produced for unsuccessful missions.

The 35mm photos were taken by Dr Jenny Scott between December 2003 and February 2004 using two Nikon FM-2 SLR cameras with 50mm and 28mm lenses. The photos are part of a longterm fixed-point photo-monitoring project, started as part of ASAC Project 1181 (ASAC_1181), and the majority of image locations are the same as for the photo series taken by Scott between 1986-2000 (HI_VEG_PHOTOPOINTS_1). The photos serve as a baseline for documenting vegetation and landscape change, both between the two existing time series 1986-2000 and 2003-04, and in the future.

Area covered: eastern and southern Heard Island from Fairchild Beach (Compton Lagoon) to Long Beach.

Number of images: 1633, ranging between 1-3 MB. Images are stored in seven zip files, according to location. For more information, see metadata notes (word doc) accompanying the images.

Zip files cover the locations as follows: - Fairchild Beach (FB). 181 images. Includes north side of Brown Lagoon. - Skua Beach (SK). 313 images. Includes North Skua and Scarlet Hill. - Stephenson Moraine (SP). 143 images. - Spit North (SN) and SpitSouth (SS). 309 images. - Paddick Valley (PV) and Winston Lagoon east (WE). 203 images. - Capsize Beach (CB) and Winston Lagoon west (WL). 193 images. - Long Beach, Lavett Bluff, Lambeth Bluff (LB). 291 images.

For each main location (ie each zip-file) there are folders with 28mm images (wide-angle) and folders with 50mm images (standard view) of basically the same series of photo-points. They are called eg. 'Skua 28mm', 'Skua 50mm'. The 28mm images can be viewed first to give an overall impression, and the 50mm images of selected sites can be viewed to give greater detail. The photo-points are arranged in approximate numerical order in each series of 28mm folders and 50mm folders. Note that the 28mm and 50mm series do not always match up completely; not all image series are repeated with 50mm and several images may be 50mm only. The majority of photo-points consist of a series of images (both 28mm and 50mm) forming a panorama progressing from left to right.

Photo-point location shapefiles:

There are two shapefiles showing location of DGPS photo-points and handheld GPS photo-points. The handheld GPS unit was used on several occasions when the DGPS system was unavailable. Image labels eg. JJS-SK-001 and JJS_SK_001 signify the same photo-point. For information on labelling, see metadata notes (word doc) accompanying the images.
