• Need to prepare the comparison campaigns in advance

• Medipix cross calibration: agreement

(still) in development (!!!)

• DOSTEL/RAD cross calibration?

RT data analysis

In Rome URTV In Houston JSCFor ALTEA …

2007

…. also for LIDAL!

Storing in public DB

In Langley - NASAFor ALTEA …

2011

…. also for LIDAL!

Still on line:http://iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080/IswaSystemWebApp/index.jsp?i_1=388&l_1=4&t_1=27&w_1=1239&h_1=614&s_1=0

• LIDAL-ALTEA is on schedule and will be launched in October

• The new detector system will individually measure (released energy,

trajectory, ToF)

• 18 (48) months of measurements (in 3 directions)

• Agreements for RT analysis, DB storage and cross calibrations still ‘in

progress’
