Investigation of the onboard calibration and estimation of the noise component of measurements of the SMP-32 spectrometer
Abstract
Measurements of calibration radiation sources of the SMP-32 multichannel spectrometer (installed on the Meteor-Priroda satellite as part of the Bulgaria-1300-II instrumentation) are analyzed. The calibration signal is found to be stable and to diverge only insignificantly from preflight values; this makes it possible to use the calibration coefficients from ground-based tests to calibrate satelliteborne spectral measurements. The noise component of the measurements is estimated, and found not to exceed the signal quantization step of the spectrometer.
