Calibration/Verification Plan

Abstract

This Calibration/Verification Plan –Cal/Ver-Plan- sets the time schedule and is the master steering document for all calibration and verification activities in the TerraSAR-X Project during the Commissioning Phase. It is to be co-ordinated with the Flight Operations Plan from MOS [RD - 5]. This document defines the terms calibration, characterization, verification and validation for the TerraSAR-X project Comissioning Phase. It describes the complete document structure for the TerraSAR-X verification and the scheduling for all calibration and verification activities in the Comissioning Phase. The calibration and in-flight instrument characterization is documented in detail in the TerraSAR-X In-Orbit Calibration Plan [RD - 4]. The IOCS Calibration Section receives its high level tasks and the high level schedule from this document.
