Spectrometers are at the heart of all NASA missions, whether for planetary exploration or Earth observing missions. Our spectrometer would find applications on the following NASA missions/experiments: The Global Atmospheric Composition Mission (GACM) - a mission designed to study at high resolution the Earth's chemical-weather processes; The Airborne Scanning Microwave Limb Sounder (A-SMLS) - an experiment to test an airborne version of the GACM instrument that was specifically designed to mitigate the development risks of the GACM SMLS instrument; The Composition of the Atmosphere from Mid-Earth Orbit (CAMEO) - a mission similar to the GACM mission but with a new Earth orbit for composition measurement; the SOFIA Heterodyne Instrument - an instrument on board a Boeing 747 to observe the earth's atmosphere; The Cornell Caltech Atacama Telescope (CCAT) - an instrument to fit on the back-end of the CCAT telescope; The Mars Volcanic Emission and Life Scout (MARVEL) - a Mars orbiter mission to analyze the Martian atmosphere for chemical traces of life or environments supportive of life; The Venus Sounder for Planetary Exploration Sub-millimeter Limb Sounder (VESPER) - a Venus orbiter mission to analyze the planet's atmospheric composition and dynamics; The Jupiter Icy Moon Explorer (JUICE) - a mission to investigate the planets as an archetype gas giant; & The Titan Saturn System Mission (TSSM) - a mission to investigate Saturn and its moons Titan and Enceladus.
A number of commercial opportunities exist for our proposed wide bandwidth digital spectrometers. These include: Ground based receivers for radio astronomy applications; Aircraft and Balloon atmospheric research; Software Defined Radio (SDR); Satellite communication systems; Baseband communication transceivers; Imaging arrays; Explosive detection; NMR and PET scan medical imaging equipment; Radar & radar jamming; Multi-channel digital receivers; Video image processors; Sonar image processor
