• Performance Validation
- Post-launch performance validation for infrared (ONIR)
sensors requires time-intensive multi-method approaches
– Ground Truth: cold and warm homogeneous surfaces
– Ground Sources: Plumes, Calibrated lasers
— Transfer functions must be applied
– Celestial Bodies: stars, moon and others
— In band characteristics uncertainties established by
multiple sources
Infrared Sensor Bands
•Near infrared (NIR): from 0.7 to 1.0
•Short-wave infrared (SWIR): 1.0 to 3 micrometers
•Mid-wave infrared (MWIR): 3 to 5 micrometers
•Mid-Long-to Long wave infrared (LWIR): 7 to 10 or 8 to
14
•Very-long wave infrared (VLWIR): 12 to about 30
micrometers,

Summary and Next Steps
• Calibration board for Infrared Sensors at the System Level (Telescope) to the FPA pixels
appears feasible for ONIR operational constellation
• Adds only slight complexity and a little SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) impact
- Size is important and may cover most one equipment compartment side
- Power to maintain (vary) board temperature, mostly passive
- May require heat spreader for surface uniformity
- Thermistor data handling and control system
- Less weight and size impact if Calibration Board is also radiator
- CONOPS for calibration will require little additional motion capability over that
required by main missions
• Compatible material solution possible
• Next Steps
