The Electro-Optics Laboratory is used to test and evaluate star tracker units, at both qualification and flight test levels. Test sets are designed and fabricated to provide data acquisition and analysis capabilities for star tracker output data.
Software is defined and developed for candidate electro-optic sensor applications.
The Electro-Optics Laboratory contains six specialized optical test sets, measurement stations, calibration systems, and an optical alignment workstation. This hardware and test equipment is contained in an area of 2,417 square feet. Engineering support for the laboratory is located in three offices which between them contain a total of 289 square feet.
