The Metric Camera is a DLR experiment in imaging technology. The Metric Camera is considered to be the first civil spaceborne experiment dedicated to photogrammetry; it was proposed and managed by Gottfried Konecny (PI) of the Institute of Photogrammetry and Surveying at the University of Hannover, Germany. At the start of the 1980s, spaceborne imagery for topographic applications could not be provided by Landsat imagery [Landsat-4 was launched July 16, 1984; TM (Thematic Mapper) provided a resolution of 30 m, and MSS (Multispectral Scanner) of 80 m, with both sensors on a swath of 185 km].
