Jitter Analysis and Measurement

In optical payload missions, especially for remote sensing satellites, achieving precise relative pointing accuracy is crucial for defining Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and its budgets. The Relative Pointing Error (RPE) is primarily affected by moving components like reaction wheels or control moment gyros on the satellite. Determining MTF requires a system-level requirement analysis, achieved through simulations and physical measurements on the integrated system. Tensor Tech specializes in delivering accurate Relative Pointing Error (RPE) estimates for mission analysis to our clients.
