EARTH OBSERVATION IMAGE CALIBRATION AND RADIOMETRY

The Planetary Environments Group provides research support for Surrey Satellite Technology Ltd's (SSTL) Earth observation imaging missions. Currently, the group is aiding SSTL in the optical and radiometric calibration of the multispectral cameras, which are flown on the disaster monitoring constellation spacecraft. The first of these, ALSAT-1, was successfully launched in November 2002, and is producing stunningly detailed very wide swath-width images.
