A HIGH-ORDER KALMAN FILTER FOR FOCAL PLANE CALIBRATION OF NASA’s SPACE INFRARED TELESCOPE FACILITY (SIRTF)
This paper discusses the Instrument Pointing Frame (IPF) Kalman Filter, which is an algorithm developed for focal plane calibration of NASA’s Space Infrared Telescope Facility (SIRTF). The IPF Kalman filter is a high-order square-root iterated linearized Kalman filter which is parametrized specifically for calibrating the telescope focal plane and aligning the science instrument arrays with res...
متن کاملGeneralized figure-control algorithm for large segmented telescope mirrors
A fundamental discovery in segmented-mirror active optics is described: symmetrizing the geometry of the sensor–actuator array provides a computationally effective symmetrization of the mathematical description for the figure control of a Keck-type telescope mirror. The author establishes a universal mathematical control model and provides an efficient algorithm to solve this model equation set...
متن کاملFOCAL POINT AND FOCAL K-PLANE
This paper deals with the basic notions of k-tautimmersions . These notions come from two special cases; that is, tight and taut immersions. Tight and taut based on high and distance functions respectively and their basic notions are normal bundle, endpoint map, focal point, critical normal. We generalize hight and distance functions to cylindrical function and define basic notions of k-taut ...
متن کاملLarge Focal Plane Arrays for Future Missions
A 3x3 raft of modular detector assemblies Large Focal Plane Arrays for Future Missions Scowen, Nikzad et al. Abstract We outline the challenges associated with the development and construction of large focal plane arrays for use both on the ground and in space. Using lessons learned from existing JPL-led and ASU/JPL partnership efforts to develop technology for, and design such arrays and image...
متن کاملAn Image Stabilization Optical System Using Deformable Freeform Mirrors
An image stabilization optical system using deformable freeform mirrors is proposed that enables the ray sets to couple dynamically in the object and image space. It aims to correct image blurring and degradation when there is relative movement between the imaging optical axis and the object. In this method, Fermat's principle and matrix methods are used to describe the optical path of the enti...
