Modernization of Blackbody Temperature Control for the enhanced MODIS Airborne Simulator (eMAS)

Joshua B. Forgione, Dayne H. Kemp, Patrick S. Grant, Roy G. Vogler

This paper describes a modernization effort to a critical subsystem onboard NASA's Enhanced MODIS Airborne Simulator (eMAS). A new Blackbody Temperature Controller subsystem greatly improves eMAS' infrared-imaging calibration and offers substantial gains in measurement and control performance. Reductions in Size, Weight and …

Documenting Surface and Sub-surface Volatiles While Drilling in Frozen Lunar Simulant

T. L. Roush, Amanda M. Cook, A. Colaprete, Richard Bielawski et autres

NASA's Resource Prospector (RP) mission is intended to characterize the three-dimensional nature of volatiles in lunar polar regions and permanently shadowed regions. RP is slated to carry two instruments for prospecting purposes. These include the Neutron Spectrometer System (NSS) and Near-Infrared Volatile …

Spectral Monitoring of Volatiles During Drilling into Frozen Lunar Simulant

T. L. Roush, Amanda M. Cook, A. Colaprete, Richard Bielawski et autres

NASA's Resource Prospector (RP) project intends to characterize the 3D distribution of volatiles in permanently shadowed regions at the lunar poles. One RP remote sensing instrument is a near-infrared spectrometer with an associated camera and radiometer, called the Near-InfraRed Volatile Spectrometer System …
