Abstract

High-precision spectral payload during the track performance changes occur, and there for need to be calibrated by on-orbit radiation calibration technology. This paper describes several types of on-orbit radiation calibration techniques. On the basis of summarizing the typical application of the international on-orbit calibration technology. Aiming at the large-caliber spectral load, this paper proposes an on-orbit scale calibration scheme combined with “full aperture part of the optical path calibration” and “all optical path part of the aperture calibration”.
