Abstract
The Transfer to Orbit Measurement assesses the stability of OLI-2 calibration sources between pre-launch and on-orbit environments. To accomplish this Transfer to Orbit, OLI-2 has two on-board calibration sources, the solar diffuser and the stim lamps. This unique Transfer to Orbit experiment includes calibrating the diffuser pre-launch using a heliostat that steers sunlight into a thermal vacuum chamber. This presentation discusses the transfer-to-orbit data collection, analysis and results from the pre-launch calibration.
