This paper focuses on the ground support technologies, instrumentation, and the analysis approaches employed to verify that the HABE ATP payload is correctly performing its state-of-the-art alignment, stabilization, and tracking functions. A specially constructed Laboratory Test Component (LTC) includes scoring sensors that measure the payload's LOS pointing errors by receiving and measuring the motion of the transmitted marker laser. Motion sensors with high sensitivity and broad bandwidth prove signals that are recorded simultaneously with other payload telemetry signals from the stabilized reference platform, the fast steering mirror alignment systems, and from the image track loops. The combined signals facilitate understanding and evaluation of the payload's tracking and pointing errors. With properly constructed laboratory tests and full instrumentation of the vibration and atmosphere contributed disturbances, it is possible to confirm that a sophisticated ATP payload like HABE is able to operate with residual pointing errors under a microradian.
