Alternative fringe sensor for DARWIN mission

Large stellar telescope is indispensable for astronomy. Aperture synthesis is a well-known technique to simulate a large space telescope by an array of small telescopes. Condition for aperture synthesis is that the light of the telescopes have to be combined coherently. Therefore, an interferometric Fringe Sensor (FS) to detect and stabilize the Optical Path Difference (OPD) between light from ...

The TerraSAR-L Interferometric Mission Objectives

TerraSAR-L is the new imaging radar mission of the European Space Agency. The platform, based on the novel Snapdragon concept, is built around the active phase array antenna of the L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Specification of the L-SAR has been guided by careful analysis of the product requirements resulting in a robust baseline design with considerable margins. Besides having a comm...

Interferometric alignment of the X-SAR antenna system on the space shuttle radar topography mission

The on-orbit alignment of the antenna beams of both the X-band and C-band radar systems during operations of the shuttle radar topography mission/X-band synthetic aperture radar (SRTM/X-SAR) was a key requirement for achieving best interferometric performance. In this paper, we consider the X-SAR antenna beam alignment in azimuth. For a single-pass cross-track SAR interferometer, we establish t...

Active Optics and Coronography with the Hubble Space Telescope

In the eld of planet and proto-planetary disk detection, achieving high angular resolution and high dynamic range is a necessity. Ground images are blurred by atmospheric turbulence and therefore adaptive optics is necessary to achieve sub-arcsecond images. Coronography coupled with adaptive optics on ground-based telescopes is a way to get both good spatial resolution and high dynamic range. H...
