Phoenix Mission Objective
Develop a proto-flight, angular-velocity sensor payload that
can observe an object in mid-wave infrared and determine the
angular velocity of the object in the field of view
Proto-flight Unit:
Defined as hardware that is designed to flight form-factor, but will be tested
exclusively on the ground and is not required to undergo environmental testing.

Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
 Assuming operation at 3.32-3.60 µm wavelengths
 Primary source of noise: thermal background and dark
current
 SNR ≥ 6 reduces probability of false alarms from noise

Probability of Detection
 Kamerman estimation
• Assumptions: SNR > 2, 10−12 < 𝑃𝑓𝑎 < 10−3

 Thus for SNR > 6 and 𝑃𝑓𝑎 < 10−10 the probability
of detection is essentially 100 percent

Test Target Surfaces
 Paint
• White and black paint are both high
emissivity at IR
• Paint emissivity much higher than
polished metal (0.85 versus 0.05) and
net emissivity a function of paint
thickness
 Surface roughness
• Increased surface roughness increases
emissivity (0.30 versus 0.10, varies with
surface roughness)
 Oxidation
• Oxidized metal has higher emissivity
(0.40 versus 0.10 for aluminum, varies
depending on degree of oxidation)

Test Target Contrast
 Background at 195K (dry ice)
and emissivity of 0.03
(aluminum foil)
 Target
• Temperature: 295K
• Mean emissivity: 0.3036
• Minimum emissivity: 0.1154
(polished copper)
• Maximum emissivity: 0.4918
(partially oxidized copper)

Cold background behind target
$500
Four-week lead time
Less than full aperture diameter which reduces contrast
1m or 2m focal length
• 3.24cm or 4.68cm test target
 Parabolic Mirror
• On far side of test target
• Payload is background
• Possible background uniformity issues but can crop
image
• Target obstructs field of view which reduces contrast
• $465

Optics Contingency (1)
 Integrated System Thermal Test
• Unchanged, uses unsurfaced
mirrors as thermal masses
 Electronics
• Power board fully testable
• Image close target without optics
to verify image sensor interface
• Image sensor interface core has
test mode to verify hardware
without image sensor

Optics Contingency (2)
 Software
• Feed algorithm simulated
images to verify optical flow and
rate determination modules
• Have option to replace image
sensor interface core with new
core that provides simulated
images, from the perspective of
the software this is identical to
nominal operations
Test Computer /
FPGA Core
Unmodified
Software Modules
 Mechanical
• Focusing mechanism still fully
testable
