PAGEOS (Photographic Astronomical Geodetic Earth Observation Satellite) is a satellite that was designed for applications in geodesy, which involves measuring and understanding Earth's geometric shape, orientation in space, and gravity field. Launched in 1985, PAGEOS was equipped with a large photographic film plate to take images of the Earth, which were used for mapping and to support geodetic measurements.
