Jitter Correction for the Coastal Ecosystem Dynamics Imager
Status: Completed
Start Date: 2013-10-01
End Date: 2014-09-01
Description:
The purpose of this project is to develop an instrument jitter correction system
In this study, we are only addressing the bore-sight changes due to internal instrument motions (tip/tilt). The roll alignment jitter component will need to be monitored and controlled by the S/C platform.
Benefits:
This begins to correct spacecraft and instrument jitter allowing the COEDI science instrument located in geostationary orbit to meet pointing stability requirements. Other concepts might also be able to use this technique.
