A SATELLITE-BORNE XENON FLASH OPTICAL BEACON FOR USE ON THE PROPOSED MISSILE RANGE CALIBRATION SATELLITE.
Abstract
A xenon flash system is described which can meet all the needs of the proposed Range Calibration Satellite. The resulting optical beacon will fulfill the demanding light output requirements of the stellar cameras to be used for range calibrations and at the same time come within the severe constraints imposed by the satellite itself. Supporting studies have made of ANNA-1B telemetry data; photographic plates have been analyzed, and an emulsion selection study performed. The results of the study are presented in three separately bound volumes. (Author)
