Abstract
The Optical Payload System (OPSys) is an INAF (italian National Institute for Astrophysics) facility hosted by Aerospace Logistics Technology Engineering Company (ALTEC SpA) in Turin, Italy. The facility is composed by three clean rooms having different cleanliness levels, a thermo-vacuum chamber (SPOCC, Space Optics calibration Chamber) with a motorized optical bench and several light sources covering the range from the extreme ultraviolet to the red light wavelengths. The SPOCC has been designed having in mind the very stringent requirements of the calibration of solar coronagraphs and the suppression of the stray-light. The facility and the optical performances will be described here. The calibration campaign performed on Metis space coronagraph will be reported as a case study.
