Algorithm of post-starting radiometric calibration of optical useful loading of space appliances

Abstract

The universal algorithm has been developed that allows for post-start radiometric calibration of the optical payload of a spacecraft using measurements of the energy brightness of the solar radiation incident on the test object and reflected from it. The necessity to take into account the parameters of the atmosphere and the side illumination is excluded, which makes it possible to evaluate the change in the characteristics of the optical sensor of a spacecraft during operation and to form output products of high quality for a productive solution of thematic problems.
