Electro-Optical Tests of CCD Imagers at the GEODSS ETS.

Abstract

As part of the GEODSS-CCD Technology Program, a series of three electro-optical tests of CCD imagers was conducted on the GEODSS Experimental Test System (ETS) at Socorro, New Mexico. The tests were preliminary to establish the basis for developing and testing an advanced CCD automatic detection system which would provide improved sensitivity and scan coverage rate for GEODSS applications. These preliminary tests resulted in the successful demonstration of STARE and image-motion-compensation (IMC) modes of operation, and provided a thorough evaluation and verification of present CCD system design models. Also, interesting electro-optical performance levels were demonstrated, compared with existing GEODSS system designs. (Author)
