Low-Cost Small Satellite Atmospheric Rotating Solar Occultation Imager, Year 2 (ROI)
Project Description
Utilizing a unique, new occultation technique involving imaging, the ROI concept will meet or exceed the quality of SAGE measurements at a small fraction of the cost. The results of an Engineering Design Studio session already held here at NASA LaRC will be leveraged to construct a proof-of-concept prototype instrument for use as a demonstrator of the technique with successful ground testing.
More »Anticipated Benefits
The technology will be able to measure stratospheric ozone and aerosol levels, meeting or exceeding the quality of SAGE measurements at a small fraction of the cost.
