- Abstract:
In today's dynamic space exploration landscape, the need for cutting-edge technologies has
never been more crucial, especially in optimizing Earth observation missions. This investigation
aims to provide an accurate characterization of the 3Cat-Gea camera, installed on the 3Cat-8
Satellite of the UPC NanoSat Lab. With a linear polarizer, this camera has been selected for
studying aurora borealis emission and its effects on ionospheric radio propagation. This work is
focused primarily on understanding the complexities of this camera, and performing a full characterization and calibration of the system.
- Objectives:
The main goal is to efficiently characterize the camera, evaluate the complete sensor, lens
and filter assembly spectral and optical performance. We'll also focus on implementing
polarizer control and integrating software *to calibrate the images and ensure their proper
quality during Aurora borealis observances. Additionally, we aim to develop programs for
capturing high-resolution images and enabling rotor rotation, ultimately integrating all
components into a cohesive system and conducting comprehensive testing to ensure functionality in space environments.*
- *Method:
The methodology involves conducting a comprehensive characterization of the camera's
parameters, implementing polarizer control for enhanced image quality during aurora borealis
observations, integrating necessary software* for efficient operation, and developing specific
programs for image capture and rotor control.
Expected results:
The expected results of this study include a comprehensive understanding of the performance
and capabilities of the 3Cat-Gea camera on the 3Cat-8 satellite and achieve the necessary
image quality during captures by proper calibration. Additionally, a first high-level integration
of software *for efficient data processing, and the successful development of programs for
image capture and rotor control will be used for the image captures.
