The QuickBird telescope is a large-aperture, high-resolution instrument that produces panchromatic and multispectral images of the earth. It has been successfully aligned and is now undergoing final performance verification tests. To help create this unique instrument, Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. has invested in the development of a facility to help reduce the time and expense typically associated with the assembly, alignment, and test of complex systems. This facility offers an integrated capability for interferometric alignment and testing of large telescopes, end-to-end image characterization including flight focal plane and electronics, Modulation Transfer Function testing, effective focal length and distortion testing, and radiometric calibration. This paper describes the overall capability of this facility and uses actual data from the alignment and test of the QuickBird telescope to demonstrate the successful completion of that instrument.
