Advanced Responsive Tactically-Effective Military Imaging Spectrometer (ARTEMIS) Development and On-Orbit Focus

The Advanced Responsive Tactically-Effective Military Imaging Spectrometer (ARTEMIS) has been developed by the Raytheon Corporation for tactical military applications and is the primary payload for the Air Force Research Laboratory Tactical Satellite 3 (TacSat-3) initiative to explore the capability and technological maturity of small, low-cost satellites. ARTEMIS is designed to support rapid on-orbit checkout including focusing of the telescope and a robust vicarious calibration campaign. The optical design for the telescope, imaging spectrometer, and high resolution imager is described.
