A star-based photometric workflow with algorithm-driven selection and flux inversion is proposed and tested via synthetic data to recover the Carruthers GCI passband to <7% error for Lyman-alpha channels.
Algorithms are presented for on-orbit removal of detector artifacts from raw Lyman-alpha images of the geocorona.
