RC-10 Mapping Camera
Wild Heerburg RC-10 Mapping Camera

The RC-10 Mapping Camera was an airborne imaging system built by Wild Heerburg. It was a metric mapping camera with a shutter intervalometer designed to capture stereo imagery. It functioned across the 510 to 900 nm spectral range and had a typical resolution of 1.5 to 4 meters. The camera featured a 9x9 image format and was mounted in the Q-bay, nose pod, and both left and right wing pods of NASA’s ER-2 aircraft.
