Description:
Xenon on-axis solar simulators are currently used in the thermal vacuum test chambers at NASA Johnson Space Center. These simulators provide a controllable system to closely match the radiation conditions in space. Through a series of alignment procedures, the uniformity, controllability, and spectral distribution of the simulators are certified in order to provide good correlation with theoretical analysis. This certification demonstrates the high fidelity output of the xenon solar simulator.
