Apollo 16 Photographic Support Documentation
============================================

These Apollo 16 Photographic Support Documents were provided by the Arizona State
University School of Earth and Space Exploration as part of their Apollo Image
Archive Project to digitize photographic images and support data and documentation
from the Apollo missions. The following summary of these Photographic Support
Documents was extracted from the project website,
http://apollo.sese.asu.edu/index.html.

During the Apollo era, various grey literature descriptions and catalogs of the
Apollo photographic image collections were compiled and published as documents by
the NSSDC (National Space Science Data Center), NASA Manned Spacecraft Center, and
Johnson Space Center. This literature represents the best resource for
understanding the photographic image datasets. To make these documents widely
accessible the The Arizona State University School of Earth and Space Exploration
scanned these supporting documents as PDF files, typically at 200 dots-per-inch.
These PDF files were converted to PDF/A format for this archive. These documents
do not allow for actually browsing the images but rather provide supporting
information. The Pacific Regional Planetary Data Center (PRPDC) at the University
of Hawaii provided many of the original documents for scanning.

This set of scanned Apollo 16 Photographic Support Documents includes:

- Data Users Note: Apollo 16 Lunar Photography
- Apollo 16 Photographic Evaluation (APE) Data Book
- Apollo 16 Index of Mapping Camera and Panoramic Camera Photographs
- Apollo SIM Bay Photographic Equipment and Mission Summary - Apollo 16 Supplement

The user may want to consult the Apollo 16 Technical Crew Debriefing that is
included in the Apollo 16 Document Collection. This transcript includes the
astronauts' discussions about the operations of the photographic equipment
for scientific purposes.
