The high radiometric sensitivity of the image orthicon and the digital video signal processing have made the image tube very valuable for measuring positions versus time, spectral dispersion, and radiometric data on space objects and missiles. In order to derive meaningful data, assessment and calibration of critical tube parameters are necessary. Some examples are given, and test methods and results described.
