Item Details
Description
An unusual document consisting of 35+ pages, most of which have a roughly 3x3" black and white photo taken from space. Some of the pages have questions relating to the photos (i.e.. On a photo entitled "Algerian Deserts", the questions include 1. Use color wheel to define desert colors, 2. Is color related to observable dune patters, 3. Describe interdune areas and relationship between dunes and adjacent hills and 4. Describe transition zones between desert and any vegetated land". This document may have been used to train the ASTP astronauts on how to describe earth topography as seen from space. Then again, it may not have been used for that. Unfortunately Deke is no longer with us to clarify the questions. Regardless, this is a fascinating piece of history. Ex: the Deke Slayton Estate collection.
