Monitoring the scale factor of the PICARD SODISM instrument

Abstract

The SODISM Telescope of the PICARD Space mission will perform diameter measurements by directly imaging the Sun on a CCD camera. An internal calibration system allows us to follow scale factor variations induced by instrument deformations resulting from temperature fluctuations on orbit or from others causes. We present this calibration system in this paper as well as some simulations on how to correct observations. (
