Practice:
The fundamental behavior of a spaceborne (or space-related) optical imaging system is contained in its response to an impulse, i.e., a point source. The point source image is referred to by a variety of names: star image, point spread function, far field pattern, impulse response, Fraunhofer diffraction pattern. Here we will use "star image." This guideline provides information on instruments and procedures used in measuring star image irradiance distributions.
