image Mars Hemispheres MOLA.jpg right thumb 260px MOLA topographic images of the two hemispheres of Mars. This image appeared on the cover of Science magazine in May 1999. The MarsOrbiter Laser Altimeter MOLA was one of five instruments onboard the Mars Global Surveyor MGS spacecraft , which operated in Mars orbit from September 1997 to November 2006. The MOLA instrument transmitted infrared laser pulses towards Mars at a rate of 10 times per second, and measured the time of flight to determine the range distance of the MGS spacecraft to the Martian surface. The range measurements resulted in precise topography topographic maps of Mars. The precision maps are applicaple to studies in geophysics , geology and atmospheric circulation . MOLA also functioned as a passive radiometer , and measured the radiance of the surface of Mars at 1064 nanometers. ref name mola a Planetary laser altimetry A laser altimeter is an instrument that measures the distance from an orbiting spacecraft to the surface of the planet or asteroid that the spacecraft is orbiting. The distance is determined by measuring the complete round trip time of a laser pulse from the instrument to the surface of the planet or asteroid and back to the instrument. The distance to the object can be determined by multiplying the round trip pulse time by the speed of light and dividing by two. With a well known attitude and position of the instrument or spacecraft, the location on the surface, which is illuminated by the laser pulse can be determined. The series of the laser spot, or footprint, locations provides a profile ... for most of Mars history and controlled the surface and subsurface transport of water indicated ... title The Global Topography of Mars and Implications for Surface Evolution pmid 10348732 ...

Project Orbiter was a proposed United States spacecraft , an early competitor to Project Vanguard . It was jointly run by the United States Army and United States Navy . It was ultimately rejected by the Ad Hoc Committee on Special Capabilities, which selected Project Vanguard instead. Although the project was canceled on August 3, 1955, the basic design was used for the Juno I rocket which launched Explorer 1 , the first satellite launched by the United States. Proposal In the 1920s and 1930s, the German Verein f r Raumschiffahrt Society for Space Travel Verein f r Raumschiffahrt, referred to as VfR by its founders began to gain in popularity, with membership growing from outside of Germany as well as within. The primary cause for the VfR s gaining world wide appeal was due to the writings of mathematician Hermann Oberth who detailed, in a 1923 publication entitled The Rocket into Interplanetary Space, the mechanics of placing a satellite into Earth orbit . ref cite web url http www.hq.nasa.gov office pao History SP 4201 ch1 3.htm title Part I, Chapter I, Section entitled The Highway to Space author Loyd S.

Preliminary or pre D Day military term D Day reconnaissance is the reconnaissance that is used prior to the principal events of any major theater of war or landing force projection. The term is not similar to the initial word reconnaissance , as preliminary reconnaissance only prescribes the reconnaissance that is being conducted beforehand , and not during , u any u deployments, military operations, or maneuver warfare movement of troops . This method of intelligence gathering generally operates within the highest military intelligence tiers, or level of the intelligence general staff , for intelligence collection management as it allows the combatant commander combatant , landing force , and or task force commanders to better situate and prepare troops for the best feasible deployment, or landing, to achieve the utmost advantage. Aerial reconnaissance Aerial and Terrestrial reconnaissance ground reconnaissance elements are collateral to preliminary reconnaissance since it may require both assets to gain the appropriate preliminary intelligence. Examples of preliminary reconnaissance is best displayed when the United States Marines of the VAC Amphib Recon Company , during World War II , would reconnoiter the beaches and inland for their landing task force commanders, a method consecutively known as amphibious reconnaissance . The vital intelligence would dictate the actions of the commander s tactical battle plan of landing the troops ashore. Category Maneuver tactics ... more details
Unreferenced date January 2009 This article incorporates text from the http www.gpoaccess.gov int pdf int015.pdf United States Government access site. Spatial reconnaissance , or space reconnaissance , is the reconnaissance of any celestial bodies in space by use of spacecraft and satellite photography . NASA personnel utilizes space reconnaissance to scout other planets, military uses space reconnaissance by using spy satellites onto the Earth s surface. Space reconnaissance assets provide access to all parts of the globe and use a variety of sensors to collect information responsive to virtually every intelligence need. They also constitute an integral part of the U.S. military force structure, providing critical information with sufficient accuracy and timeliness to support the maneuver of military forces and the targeting of their weapons. Space reconnaissance is also very expensive. Although procured in limited numbers, the large satellite systems developed by the United States and the ground stations needed to operate them require expenditures in the range of several billions of dollars per year. Their substantial cost puts great pressure on the Intelligence Community to search for alternatives, find efficiencies, and continuously scrutinize the intelligence requirements these systems address.

Engineer reconnaissance is the reconnaissance operations performed by combat engineers to enable forward movement of own troops, in war usually over territory previously occupied by the enemy. The activity includes provision of reconnaissance instructions on the intended route for which a commander needs an engineer reconnaissance report , identification of road symbols road and bridge symbols , posting of safe transit notices for identified Standard Bridge Capacity bridge capacities , estimation for time and materials required to effect route repair , and performance of demolition reconnaissance to identify intended enemy demolitions.

unreferenced date September 2008 Route Reconnaissance is the intelligence assessment of the operational environment in reconnaissance operations of routes for military use, including methods of reconnoitering and classifying them for other troops. In a Tactical Area of Responsibility during combat operations the primary purpose of conducting route reconnaissance is to find and report all enemy forces that can interfere with movement along a route, and to identify the limit of direct fire range and dominant terrain terrain that dominates the route. Route reconnaissance includes creation of reconnaissance overlays to identify land and water features, bridge reconnaissance and bridge classification classification , road reconnaissance and road structure and design classification , special terrain reconnaissance such as that used during cross country movement , at the landing area s, on the inland waterway s, or when using footpaths and trail s, engineer reconnaissance , and use of military route sign s standard signs, sign lighting, bridge signs . A significant part of route reconnaissance is the ability to identify choke point s that prohibit military traffic by using conversion factors and tables to identify non standard surfaces or inadequate load bearing in structure. To do so, military load classification s are used for standard vehicles of a given armed force . Route reconnaissance is typically conducted by a foot, horse or vehicle mounted route reconnaissance patrol , sometimes with aid of aerial reconnaissance aircraft . The patrol would include regular reconnaissance elements and a combat engineering team. Category Military engineering Category Maneuver tactics ... more details
unreferenced date December 2008 Terrestrial reconnaissance , or ground recon, is a type of reconnaissance that is employed along the elements of ground warfare . It is the intelligence collection management collection of intelligence that strictly involves routes, areas, zones terrain oriented and the enemy force oriented . Ground reconnaissance is considered to be the most effective type of reconnaissance but also the slowest method in obtaining information about the terrain and enemy. Those units in contact with the enemy, especially patrols, are among the most reliable sources of information. Combat engineers are also good sources of information. These engineer units often conduct engineer reconnaissance of an area and can provide detailed reporting on lines of communications i.e., roads, rivers, railroad lines, bridges, and obstacles to maneuver.
