Abstract
We present a portable test setup used as a ground support equipment for the Solar Ultra Violet (SUVI) instrument on GOES-R series of satellites. The test setup is used as part of “remove before flight” or to package optical components for “install before flight”. The portable setup utilizes an inexpensive, commercially available thermo-plastic film that provides excellent barrier for moisture and debris. In addition to providing Foreign Object Debris (FOD) mitigation, this thermo-plastic film exhibits 1/10th wave optical performance. Most precision optical testing of instruments or subsystems can occur without exposing the systems to the environment.
