Autonomous on-board data processing and instrument calibration software for the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on-board the Solar Orbiter mission

Hirzberger, Johann; Solanki, Sami K.; Woch, Joachim +18 more

A frequent problem arising for deep space missions is the discrepancy between the amount of data desired to be transmitted to the ground and the available telemetry bandwidth. A part of these data consists of scientific observations, being complemented by calibration data to help remove instrumental effects. We present our solution for this discre…

Subpixel real-time jitter detection algorithm and implementation for polarimetric and helioseismic imager

Volkmer, Reiner; Roma, David; Carmona, Manuel +12 more

The polarimetric and helioseismic imager instrument for the Solar Orbiter mission from the European Space Agency requires a high stability while capturing images, specially for the polarimetric ones. For this reason, an image stabilization system has been included in the instrument. It uses global motion estimation techniques to estimate the jitte…
