- OCI will continue and enhance NASA’s earth system data records for ocean color (heritage sensors: SeaWiFS, MODIS, VIIRS)
- OCI flight unit is close to being ready for testing (planned for March 2022 to September 2022)
- OCI ETU (Engineering Test Unit) completed testing summer 2021, results look promising (see next presentation)
- On-orbit calibration will combine successful trending approaches from previous sensors (2 solar diffusers, QVD, lunar gain trending, spectral trending)
- New calibration approaches for OCI: large QVD, dim diffuser for linearity trending, lunar hysteresis trending
- OCI will be characterized prelaunch with an ambitious goal of 0.5% relative uncertainty; absolute uncertainty will be about 2% (before vicarious calibration); expected on-orbit gain trending accuracy is 0.2% or better
