Camera UV Exposure Test Plan

Task Description: Calibrate one of the EM cameras using known colour sources and expose it to UV radiation to determine camera degradation over time

Completion Deadline: 17 Nov. 2020

Team Member: Matt, Nathalie, Stephanie, C-TAPE

Resources Required: C-TAPE, Payload EM Camera Model, Arducam camera development board, Arduino Mega, red, green, and blue calibration targets

Verification Activities: V-PLD-1640

Pass Criteria: Camera still takes images after UV exposure, UV degradation (if any) can be quantified as a function of exposure

Detailed Description:

1. Using the EM camera, Arducam development board, and Arudino Mega, take and save images of the red, green, and blue calibration targets

2. Disconnect the camera;

3. Place the camera in a nitrogen environment so that the camera bore axis is directly facing the VUV light source

4. Turn the light source on for TIME PERIOD

5. Remove the camera from the chamber, connect it to the Arducam module, and take a new picture of each calibration target under the same lighting conditions.

6. Repeat 3-5 until the camera is too degraded to take images
