Abstract

A scanning device for a space-based environmental monitoring system has been investigated. The main attention is paid to the study of the parameters of the angular motion of the mirror of the scanning device, the uniformity of rotation of which largely determines the quality of the image of the Earth's surface. The principle and results of measuring the parameters of the mirror rotation carried out in a wide angular range are considered. The measurements were performed using a dynamic goniometer-autocollimator, which has been calibrated at the State Standard of Plane Angle Unit GET 22-2014. The repeatability of the average angular velocity of the scanning device mirror and the repeatability of the initial scanning angle are calculated. Nonstationarity in mathematical expectation and variance in random deviations of the angular motion of the mirror from the linear law of scanning is noted. The use of wavelet analysis revealed the frequency of excitation of oscillations in the low-frequency region of the spectrum. The possibility of using the a dynamic goniometer-autocollimator for measuring not only the angular position of the scanning device mirror, but also the angular velocity is shown.
