La. Glebovich et Iv. Pevunchikov, PROSPECTIVE SYSTEMS FOR CONSTRUCTING IR DEVICES FOR ORIENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE EARTH, Journal of optical technology, 65(8), 1998, pp. 666-668
This paper discusses prospective systems for constructing IR devices f
or orientation with respect to the earth, based on uncooled array radi
ation detectors. It shows that it is possible in principle to create s
uch devices with a measurement accuracy of 1-3 arc min for near-earth
spacecraft. (C) 1998 The Optical Society of America.
