Description: This volume is the story of a photographic satellite called GAMBIT, which was developed to perform at even better resolutions than CORONA and work against specified targets -- an operation usually referred to as "surveillance mode." GAMBIT fulfilled this surveillance function from July 1963 to April 1984.
