Spectroradiometry for Solar Physics in Space
Realistic physical and chemical descriptions of the Sun require observations that have been made with spectroradiometrically calibrated telescopes and spectrometers, i.e., with instruments that have a known spectral responsivity. Such calibrations assure that a measured spectral radiance or irradiance is determined on a scale that is defined by the radiometric standards realised and used in lab...
متن کاملTestable lightweight telescopes for space
The next generation of larger space optics will need lightweight and deployed mirror systems in order to control costs and fit within current and planned launch vehicle fairings. These will require active control based on wavefront sensing to establish and maintain their optical quality. Such control has been the enabling factor for the current generation of 8 m class ground-based telescopes, w...
متن کاملDetecting Life-bearing Extra-solar Planets with Space Telescopes
One of the promising methods to search for life on extra-solar planets (exoplanets) is to detect life’s signatures in their atmospheres. Spectra of exoplanet atmospheres at the modest resolution needed to search for oxygen, carbon dioxide, water, and methane will demand large collecting areas and large diameters to capture and isolate the light from planets in the habitable zones around the sta...
متن کاملCollaborative Commercial Space Situational Awareness with ESpOC-Empowered Telescopes
This paper will demonstrate that by leveraging advanced photometric processing algorithms developed for the Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) mission, ExoAnalytic and AGI have proven the capability to provide actionable SSA intelligence for satellite operators from small telescopes in less than optimal viewing conditions. Space has become an increasingly cluttered environment requiring satellite ...
متن کاملAdaptive membrane for large lightweight space telescopes
Large, lightweight telescopes in space will enable future earth science, space science, and reconnaissance. The state of the art in space telescope is the Hubble Space Telescope launched in 1990 with its 2.4 m primary mirror. Missions within the decade such as the Next Generation Space Telescope will push this aperture diameter to over 6.5 m. But truly revolutionary observation in many waveleng...
