SBIRS satellite passes 'Jitter' test

Article Abstract:

A key test was passed on a component of the Space-Based Infrared System (SBIRS), a developing part of the US nation's missile defense system to observe its ability to watch on visual target. The 'jitter' test passed on one of several types of SBIRS satellites revealed that it could stay focused on its target despite routine physical distractions such as the vibration of moving parts.
