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 ...
متن کاملThe 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...
متن کاملSSC09-XI-12 A Common Ground Experiment Testbed for Synthetic Mission Demonstration of Small Satellites
AThis paper introduces the development of a ground experiment testbed for synthetic mission demonstration of small satellites in National University of Defense Technology (NUDT). This testbed consists of five parts: test platform, small satellite simulator, monitoring and control system, data collecting and simulation system, and displaying system. It can simulate small satellite motion with tw...
متن کاملInterferometric 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...
متن کاملActive 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...
