TK, along with the Institute of Applied Physics in Bern, has been working on set of ground based targets targets for calibrating the Ice Cloud Imager instrument to be flown on Sat-B of the EUMETSAT's MetOp-SG satellite programme, being developed by AIRBUS in Spain
These provide precise known radiometric temperatures to calibrate the instrument: for ICI over the 183-664 GHz range, using very low reflection wedges, and novel cryogenic cooling system provided by our co-supplier, IABG in Germany
Images of the assembled system can be seen below, after final assembly in our clean rooms.
