Emissive Reference Spheres as Absolute Calibration Sources for an Orbiting LWIR Sensor*

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An orbiting LWIR sensor may be calibrated by deploying emissive reference spheres at known temperatures into its field of view. Observations of stars made with a sensor calibrated in this way offer an independent means for calibrating the irradiances of standard stars. The planning for such a calibration experiment will be discussed.
