Stainless steel cylindrical simulation chamber permits testing equipment under extreme cold, high partial vacuums, and intense solar radiation. Applications include heat balance and temperature distribution studies, investigations of subsystem interactions, tests of attitude control equipment and sensors, and acceptance tests of complete systems.
High-speed switching circuit protects detectors from sudden, extremely-intense backscattered radiation that results from short-range atmospheric dust layers, or low-level clouds, entering laser/radar field of view. Function of circuit is to provide computer-controlled switching of photodiode detector, preamplifier power-supply voltages, in approximately 10 nanoseconds.
