A flying object includes a lift and displacement motor which has a combustible propelling charge and direct thrust flight control and can ensure the lift and displacement of the flying object in an observation position for which the flying object is at least approximately vertical with the rear part thereof oriented downwards; an attitude motor with a combustible propelling charge and conventional thrust vector control; and an observation unit which is arranged in the rear part of the flying object.

Flying object for observing the ground

The invention relates to a method for photographing on board of a flying rotating body and system for carrying out said method. According to said invention, pictures (V, V, V, V) are taken at predetermined angular positions of said flying body by a device which is rigidly fixed to the front thereof and are exposed to an image geometrical transformation required for the display thereof.

Method for photographing on board of a flying rotating body and system for carrying out said method

The invention relates to a method and device for producing an optical link using light flashes. According to the invention, an arrangement () comprising a plurality of capacitors (Cto C) is provided in order to power a flash lamp () and the connection of said capacitors within the arrangement is controlled in a programmed manner such that the resulting capacitance thereof increases from one flash in the next.

Method and device for producing an optical link using light flashes

A method and device produce an optical link with laser pulses between an emitter of the pulses and a receiver of the pulses. The optical link is used by a locating device for locating a body moving at constant speed away from the locating device. The locating device delays the start of emission of the laser pulses with respect to the departure of the moving body and varies the energy of the successive laser pulses in proportion to the square of the time elapsed since the start of emission of the pulses.

Method and device for producing an optical link with laser pulses

The invention concerns a rotating missile emitting light pulses. The invention is characterized in that means are provided to interrupt said light pulses () when the rotational movement () of the missile () about its longitudinal axis (L-L) stops.
