Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | SPACE SCIENCE REVIEWS | Number: | 212 | Issue: | 3-4 | First Page: | 1871 | Abstract: | The European Space Agency's ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) seeks to investigate the biological or geological origin of trace gases found on Mars. The TGO carries a payload of four instruments in order to reach its scientific goals, including the Colour and Stereo Surface Imaging System (CaSSIS). CaSSIS is a colour and stereo telescopic camera that will be capable of taking high-resolution images of the martian surface. Before shipment of the instrument for integration onto the TGO, a detailed calibration campaign was performed, and a number of calibration products were gathered and utilised as part of the in-flight calibration campaign. This paper presents the results of on-ground calibration measurements carried out in order to assess the pre-flight performance of CaSSIS. All indications are that CaSSIS will perform very well on arrival at Mars and will be successful in reaching its scientific objectives. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/28140 | URL: | https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs11214-017-0404-2 | ISSN: | 0038-6308 | DOI: | 10.1007/s11214-017-0404-2 | Bibcode ADS: | 2017SSRv..212.1871R | Fulltext: | reserved |
