Low-Cost Small Satellite Atmospheric Rotating Solar Occultation Imager (ROI)
Project Introduction
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.
