Records on KH-11 : 1. Several high-quality photographs of an assembled satellite (for example, a side view and a top view similar to the images of the HEXAGON in a test facility which are set forth in ~The HEXAGON Story} - If the size or configuration of the satellite changed significantly over t ime I would like several photographs of each versi on. 2. A high-quality line drawing or schematic. drawing of the complete satellite with descriptions of the major components · If the major components or corifiguration of the satellite changed significantly over time l would like a high-quality line drawing or schematic of each version. 3. A document or documents on the image-forming sensors(s) (for example, som ething similar to E.1537 Closed Mandatory Dcclassiticat ion Initial MOR 8/25/2015 the NRO data book on the GAMBIT 3 camera or the NPIC technical publication on the GAMBIT 1 David, James 8/26/2015 camera, both or which are in "Critic.al to US Security ...") - If no such document exists, I would like a document or documents setting forth information similar to that contained in the "Numerical Summary of GAMBIT 1 Payload" or "Numerical Summary of GAMBIT 3 Payloard", both of w hic.h are in "The GAMBIT Story." I would like any documents to describe both any light-sensing dices and CCDs used and the numbers, types, and sizes of the mirrors. 4 . A document or documents setting forth the dimensions and weight of the satellite. If these changed significantly over time t would like documents with this information for each 1,1ersion . 5. A document or documents listing the major contractors for the satellite. 6. A document or documents ~etting forth all or most of the following information: the mission number, launch date, photographic days (operational lifetime), best resolution, and brief remarks for each mission !for example, something similar to the GAMBIT 1 and GAMBIT 3 "Flight ~ m ~ri e~ n ·~e G-~~1Bl~tor!:.'.' ______
