Num Pages: 282 pages, 13 black & white tables, biography. BIC Classification: PG; PNFS; TTDS. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 242 x 161 x 17. Weight in Grams: 536.
This book is the result of a working group sponsored by ISSI in Bern, which was initially created to study possible ways to calibrate a Far Ultraviolet (FUV) instrument after launch. In most cases, ultraviolet instruments are well calibrated on the ground, but unfortunately, optics and detectors in the FUV are very sensitive to contaminants and it is very challenging to prevent contamination before and during the test and launch sequences of a space mission. Therefore, ground calibrations need to be confirmed after launch and it is necessary to keep track of the temporal evolution of the sensitivity of the ... Read more
