3.2 Instrument Characteristics and Performance

This section describes the characteristics and performance of AATSR. It is split into two sections:

  • section 3.2.1. describes the pre-flight characteristics and expected performance.
  • section 3.2.2. describes the way in which AATSR's performance will be verified in-flight.
