The optic axis of the Mapping Camera is at a fixed angle relative to the spacecraft and is vertical when the spacecraft is in normal SIM Bay Attitude. Mapping Camera stereo coverage is obtained by overlap,nominally 78 Percent,of consecutive frames along the groundtrack. Oblique views were obtained on Revision 23 (forward (FWD) - looking),Revision 34 (aft-looking),Revision 35 (north-looking) and Revision 71 (south-looking) by appropriate spacecraft attitude changes.
