Proposed is a CCD radiometer for application in the GEODSS Program. An analysis is made of the predicted performance in a field environment. The results are compared for a variety of satellite brightnesses and levels of night sky background with the present single cell GaAs radiometer undergoing tests at the GEODSS Experimental Test Facility at White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico and with the Robinson-Wampler multi-channel radiometer in use at Lick Observatory, University of California, Santa Cruz, California, and the McDonald Observatory, University of Texas, Fort Davis, Texas. The comparison indicates that the CCD radiometer allows the optical signature of objects to be determined with higher accuracy and improved time resolution, and permits a more efficient utilization of telescope time.
