Abstract
The Corner Cube Mechanism (CCM) of the Infra-Red Sounder (IRS) for the Meteosat Third Generation (MTG) satellites completed an extensive qualification test campaign demonstrating the high-precision mechanism met stringent requirements for operation in the harsh environment of space at geostationary orbit. The Qualification Test Program was performed both at component/sub-system level and at mechanism level.
