Abstract
Small satellite platforms with television cameras onboard became popular in recent years. Many of these devices are non-commercial and are student-built. The small budget of such a mission suggests mainly educational use. Meanwhile, high-quality pre-flight radiometric calibration of onboard equipment will significantly expand the range of remote sensing tasks performed by the mission. This article describes a method and equipment for measuring the main energy characteristics of television cameras - signal transmission function, zone characteristics, noise signal of matrix detector. The proposed equipment provides a high dynamic range with good accuracy and has a low cost.
