The Laboratory Radiometric Calibration of the CCD Stereo Camera for the Optical Payload of the Lunar Explorer Project

The system of the optical payload for the Lunar Explorer includes a CCD stereo camera and an imaging interferometer. The former is devised to get the solid images of the lunar surface with a laser altimeter. The camera working principle, calibration purpose, and content, nude chip detection, and the process of the relative and absolute calibration in the Laboratory are introduced.
