Resumen
The main objective of this thesis is the understanding and characterization of the SUSIE hyperspectral camera, designed to capture the spectra of the northern lights. It will be integrated in the 3Cat-8 mission satellite, which aims to study atmospheric phenomena such as ionospheric scintillation. This project covers both the assembly of the hardware (including the integration of the sensor, rotor, lens and polarizing filter) and the verification of the camera performance through different experimental tests in the Clean room. Different methods and techniques will be used for spectral characterization, such as the study of the linearity of brightness, dark current and defective pixels. The last two chapters will deal with the study of the modulation transfer function and its possible effects on the mission, together with the testing of the communication system between the camera and the C3SatP, which will ensure that the data collected are managed correctly. Ultimately, the goal is to verify the operability of the camera in the space environment, as well as the contribution in observation techniques for future missions.
