The sole instrument on NASA’s ICESat-2 spacecraft shown in Figure 1 will be the Advanced Topographic Laser Altimeter System (ATLAS)1. The ATLAS is a Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR) instrument; it measures the time of flight of the six transmitt

Many lessons were learned in the comprehensive testing of the one meter Beryllium flight telescope for the ICESat-2 mission. This paper will focus on testing areas of encircled energy analysis, plate scale measurements, and boresight alignment for al

The WFIRSTAFTA Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope TMA optical design provides 0.28-sq FOV at 0.11 pixel scale, operating between 0.6 2.4m, including a spectrograph mode (1.3-1.95m.) An IFU provides a discrete 3x3.15 field at 0.15 sampling.

For the purpose of this paper, actual field curvature is the field dependent departure of the location of best image quality from a nominal surface along the direction of the optical axis. Usually this nominal surface is a plane where an image is for

Filters are employed in optical systems to reduce stray light and block unwanted spectra. However, common filter materials are susceptible to solarization, a bulk degradation wherein the material properties change when exposed to UV radiation. A new

The Kitt Peak Mayall 4-m telescope required a new prime focus corrector having a flat focal plane covering 36 arcmin on a side (51 arcmin diagonal) to accommodate the Mosaic 8K X 8K CCD system. The scientific requirements for the new corrector includ

A number of common building materials and finishes are found to be phosphorescent. To avoid this as a source of stray light, it is suggested that with sensitive low-light level systems, material selection be done judiciously and with cognizance of th

Grazing incidence reflections as a source of stray light are a problem which continues to beleaguer optical systems and instrumentation. These reflections tend to be specular and are a primary cause of ghosting. Traditional means of blackening (absor

Fiber-fed spectrographs have now been employed in astronomy for several years. They offer the principle advantages of increasing the number of objects with which simultaneous spectra may be recorded, better stability, an improvement in versatility, a
