A model for the Precise Acquisition, Tracking and Pointing (ATP) system will be discussed and experimental performance data will be presented.
In this paper, the metrology pointing sensor of the Starlight ground instrument prototype is characterized and a siderostat pointing control loop is closed between two optical benches with a 10 meter separation.
This paper shows a complete model of the FIT pointing system.
To address the gap in manifest opportunities for low temperature microgravity payloads that has accompanied the start of the build era for the International Space Station (ISS), development of a new facility compatible with one or more carriers in the baseline shuttle manifest has been undertaken.
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) relies on interferometry and metrology capable of measuring the change in the optical path difference with picometer accuracy.
