Context
CS Group responsabilities for Studies for absolute calibration and FTM measurement of Pleiades sensors (Star & Moon methods) are as follows:
- Study, treatments, development

The features are as follows:
- Phr1a & phr1b stalking stalks:
- Generation of starpools using the ICC Isatis procedure
- Addition of new Starpools to previously used data
- Analysis of new input data: trace of time series of the digital account of each star for Starpools Pléiades 1A and 1B and for different sizes of extraction windows
- Estimation of absolute calibration coefficients and FTM
Pneo3 & pneo4 moon stalker:
- Realization of pre-working and calibration treatments for pneo3 & pneo4
- Evolution of calibration and synthesis tools to refine the analysis of the results
Project implementation
The project objectives are as follows:
