Towards a second-generation robotic telescope mount for the air-LUSI instrument

Abstract

Earth observation satellites, such as those responsible for monitoring the effects of climate change, require rigorous calibration protocols to account for on-orbit sensor degradation. An increasingly dependable method to address this issue uses the Moon as a reference light source for in-situ calibration. The airborne lunar spectral irradiance (air-LUSI) mission aims to improve the utility of the Moon as an on-orbit calibration target for …
