Irradiance Calibration of Space-Based Infrared Sensors

Abstract

The purpose of this work is to develop a basis for irradiance calibration of space-based sensors. It is an extension of previous work that fully defines the context of calibration, and the concepts of spectral composites and templates. We discuss two areas of work carried out during the past year; our accomplishments and failures; and our plans for the future. The two areas are: 1) A description of the Celestial Background Experiment CBO6 2) Production of the preliminary Air Force Bright Spectral Catalog.
