Research abstract
This effort will enhance the space based platform for on orbit calibration of ground-based radar systems. Low cost, microsatellite technologies, developed under previous programs, will enable rapidly deployed calibration target system consisting of characteristic shaped bodies. Specific interface details associated with attributes of enhanced motion characteristic, greater telemetry collection, higher precision, multi-object deployment and active thermal control will be performed while maintaining up and downlink encrypted communications.
