Design of a camera for the Image Stabilization System for the Solar Orbiter project

Abstract

[ANGLÈS] The Correlation Tracking Camera (CTC) is a high frame rate low resolution camera. It is used by the Image Stabilization System (ISS), which function is to detect and correct the jitter introduced by the spacecraft. The CTC provides images which are processed by the ISS using a correlation tracking algorithm and it detects displacements with subpixel resolution. Based on its results a mirror is tipped and tilted, in order to stabilize the image position for the FPA (Focal Plane Assembly) image cameras. The FPA will provide high-resolution and full-disk measurements of the photospheric magnetic field, goal of the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager (PHI) instrument of the Solar Orbiter mission.
