Abstract
The JPSS-1 mission is more than 12 months away from launch and the Visible/Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite sensor pre-launch characterization is complete and the sensor is installed on the JPSS-1 spacecraft. Preliminary analysis of the characterization test data is complete and several key results of those tests will be covered in this presentation. To the largest extent the J-1 sensor has performance characteristics equal to or better than those of the S-NPP sensor. Preliminary data will be shown for noise, spectral characterization and polarization. S-NPP performance is not met with J-1 sensor in areas of polarization and Day-Night Band radiometric performance. S-NPP performance is exceeded with the J-1 sensor for stray light in the VisNIR filter blocks. Final characterization data will be available as the mission gets closer to the JPSS-1 launch date.
