Abstract
The limitations on lunar astronomy caused by abberations from the Earth´s atmosphere are overcome by the Ranger TV Payload. Pictures with detail improvement of 2000 over Earth-based observations were obtained. The design of TV cameras for a space probe is subject to environmental and operational constraints resulting in a departure from normal TV design practice. The more important design problemns and solutions are discussed.
