Abstract :
Describes a simple way to measure solid angles by means of linear CCD-arrays, a technique which was realized in the space project called “MONIMIR” in 1991 and is currently still in use. There are several reasons for choosing this kind of recording of angles. The technical and financial demands made on optoelectronical devices are very high. Therefore, it is desirable to develop a system which is both compact and has a simple construction, and which can also meet space requirements
