Introduction

One of the key objectives of the EO-1 mission is to flight-validate revolutionary technologies. The following sections contain the documented evidence of how the various instrument and spacecraft bus technologies were validated and the validation results. The documentation for each technology is presented in the form of an overview and summary of several pages followed by a full report. A list of the EO-1 technologies is as follows:

Instruments

• Advanced Land Imager
• Silicon Carbide Optics
• Wide Field of View Optics
• Multispectral Imaging Capability

• Hyperion

• LEISA Atmospheric Corrector

Spacecraft Bus

• X-Band Phased Array Antenna

• Wideband Advanced Recorder and Processor

• Enhanced Formation Flying (GSFC Algorithm)

• Enhanced Formation Flying (JPL Algorithm)

• Pulsed Plasma Thruster

• Lightweight Flexible Solar Array

• Carbon-Carbon Radiator

• LA-II Thermal Coating
