GOES-R ABI calibration approach
Exhibit Hall B (Ernest N. Morial Convention Center)
David S. Smith, ITT Space Systems Division, Fort Wayne, IN
GOES ABI's calibration approach emphasizes long term linkage between all flight instrument calibrations. Critical laboratory intercomparison of on-board Internal Calibration Targets (ICTs) and External Calibration Targets (ECTs in the test chamber) form the basis for instrument-instrument calibration stability. A description of this process, and other aspects of the calibration program are given.
