Abstract

Ground testing results are presented for the landing platform television system (TSPP) within the complex of scientific payloads onboard the ExoMars-2022 spacecraft. In the course of the ground testing, the different operation modes have been checked and the camera characteristics have been measured and calibrated. The Space Research Institute (IKI RAS) has obtained photographic material from each camera, with the cameras being installed on a stand that simulates in full scale the ExoMars-2022 landing platform. In addition, special measurements have been collected for the cameras’ most important characteristics: horizontal and vertical angular field of view, distortion, focal length, resolution, dynamic range, vignetting coefficient, and absolute sensitivity.
