Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS): Sensor Improvements for 1994 and 1995

AVIRIS is a NASA-sponsored Earth-remote-sensing imaging spectrometer designed, built, and operated by JPL. In the time that AVIRIS has been operational since 1989, major improvements have been completed in most of the subsystems of the sensor during the winter maintenance cycles. As a consequence of these efforts, the capabilities of AVIRIS to reliably acquire and deliver consistently high quality, calibrated imaging spectrometer data continue to improve annually, significantly over those in 1989. Improvements to AVIRIS prior to 1994 have been described elsewhere. This paper details recent and planned improvements to AVIRIS in the sensor task.

Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) Onboard Calibration System

The AVIRIS instrument uses an onboard calibration system to provide auxiliary calibration data. The system consists of tungsten halogen cycle lamp imaged onto a fiber bundle through an eight position filter wheel. The fiber bundle illuminates the back side of the foreoptics shutter during a pre-run and post-run calibration sequence. The filter wheel contains 2 neutral density filters, 5 spectral filters and blocked position.

Improvements to the Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer (AVIRIS) Calibration System

As a continuing effort to increase the calibration accuracy of the AVIRIS data a number of recent improvements have been implemented and are in the process of being tested during the 1994 flight season. These include the following innovations: A direct observation of a laboratory radiance standard is now used to double check the wide field-of-view calibration via an integrating sphere source. Launch site field calibration of the AVIRIS sensor is now being planned to augment the laboratory and inflight calibration. Modification to a dry air conditioning unit has been made to enable ground calibration at flight operating temperatures. One hundred lines of dark imagery has been added to the end of each flight line to assist in the analysis and removal of residual coherent noise. The intensity of the onboard calibration lamp has been modified to improve response in the blue end of the spectrum. Novel spectral filters have been installed in the onboard calibration source.
