Description

A limb sounder utilizing a Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer for the detection of the O2 Atmospheric A-Band is presented. This instrument is suited to fly on a 3-6 unit CubeSat. The purpose of the instrument is to measure vertical profiles of temperature in the mesosphere and lower thermosphere. A prototype version of this instrument was successfully tested on a REXUS sounding rocket by a student team.
