Abstract

The theory of performance for a horizon scanner with a reflecting cone and objective lens optical system is presented. The theory and equations describing the optics are given and a method of determining image plane irradiance for any object is shown. The expected performance of the device as a horizon scanner is presented. Experimental results of a horizon scanner model are presented which verify the optical calculations and theory.
