This campaign details the ground-based calibration and performance verification of the METimage instrument using specialized optical ground support equipment (OGSE). Through flight-representative thermal-vacuum testing, the team characterized spectral, radiometric, and geometric performance across 20 channels. This verification process ensures the instrument meets precise meteorological mission requirements following its successful launch.
