Abstract
This paper describes the test equipment required for precise IR and visible channel microradian alignments for geosynchronous orbiting meteorological instruments. The test equipment design criteria, design, function and use are explained in detail. Wave front error measurements, vibration isolation, thermal compensation and stress free mounting configurations are described.
