Automatic Real-Time Extinction Measurement

Abstract

We have developed a technique for measurement of at the Engineering Test Satellite (ETS). The technique is designed to best serve the needs of Engineering Test Satellite(ETS) operations and to provide for a high degree of automation. In parallel, a software package of control the equipment and to reduce the data in real-time has been developed.
