We flew a job for an engineering company that the final customer is the federal government. We have a very expensive airborne GPS system that is triggered on each each exposure so we know the exact position of the airplane and the exact time down to the hundredth of a second the shutter was fired. The engineering company is required to provide data that they make us figure out. They need the precise angle of the sun for each exposure. So the right ascension, azimuth and yada yada. No other client needs that but since it is in the contract, we get to dig it up.
We have a goofy spreadsheet the pilot has to fill out and enter all sorts of silly details that no one will ever look at, but what the heck, they want it we provide it. It would be fascinating to find out what they do with it beside fill out some form that no one needs. Likely in triplicate and file the TPS report promptly.
