GOES-R SUVI EUV Flatfields Generated Using Boustrophedon Scans
Abstract
The Solar Ultraviolet Imager (SUVI) is mounted on the Solar Pointing Platform (SPP) of the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, GOES-R. SUVI is a Generalized Cassegrain telescope with a large field of view that employs multilayer coatings optimized to operate in six extreme ultraviolet (EUV) narrow bandpasses centered at 9.4, 13.1, 17.1, 19.5, 28.4 and 30.4 nm. The SUVI CCD flatfield response was determined using two different techniques; The Kuhn-Lin-Lorentz (KLL) Raster and a new technique called, Dynamic Boustrophedon Scans. The new technique requires less time to collect the data and is also less sensitive to Solar features compared with the KLL method. This paper presents the flatfield results of the SUVI using this technique during Post Launch Testing (PLT).
