For a detailed discussion of the instrument, see Hampton, et al. (2005) [HAMPTONETAL2005]. Instrument Overview =================== The Impactor Targeting Sensor (ITS) consists of an f/17.5 Cassegrain telescope feeding directly onto a CCD for direct, optical imaging. It is an exact clone of the Medium Resolution Instrument and its visual CCD camera except that the filter wheel has been deleted. In all other respects it is identical. The ITS telescope is a classical Cassegrain design with the following parameters: Primary aperture : 12.0 cm diameter, round Primary focal ratio : 3.75 Secondary Obscuration : 6.6 cm diameter, round Secondary magnification : 4.75x (net Cassegrain focal length 210 cm) Back focal distance : 30.0 cm The visual detector is a 1024 x 1024 split frame-transfer CCD with 21-micron-square pixels. The electronics allow readout of centered sub-frames in multiples of 2, 64x64, 128x128, and so on, with or without rows of overscan. Transfer time, to move the two halves of the image from the exposing area to the two shielded areas is about 5.2 msec. There are readout amplifiers in each of the four quadrants. Readout time for a full frame is 1.8 seconds. Net pixel scale is 10 microradians/pixel (2 arcseconds/pixel). The surface scale is 0.2 meters/pixels at 20 kilometers. Images are transmitted to the flyby spacecraft for re-transmission to Earth. The ITS instrument is mounted behind the main deck of the impactor spacecraft and looks through a rectangular cutout on one edge of the copper cratering mass at the front of the impactor.
