Advanced Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Radiometer for Trace Gas and Aerosol Observations

Singular system for both trace gas and aerosol observations, leveraging new and available technologies to miniaturize and automate operations. Improved radiometric stability Satellite calibration and validation

Primary NASA applications include satellite calibration and validation (cal/val) activities (PACE, TEMPO, GEMS). Algorithm development and model assimilation studies would all benefit from a successful Pandora-C instrument network that addresses the short-comings of Cimel and Pandora would achieve greater accuracy in a more cost-effective manner.

Applications and customers include the US EPA, state environmental agencies, universities, and international agencies and universities. Air and water quality regulatory compliance, air quality model validation studies, and transport studies. NOAA fresh water, coastal ocean, and blue water studies would benefit from this system.

This is early/mid-stage (TRL 4) — the most realistic path in is NASA SBIR/STTR, which funds small businesses and research institutions to develop technology aligned with NASA's needs (equity-free, phased funding). Check whether a current SBIR/STTR solicitation topic overlaps with this project's technology area, or contact the project directly (above) to ask.

None of these are guaranteed paths for this specific project — TechPort itself doesn't have an "apply" button. Reaching out to the contact(s) above with a specific question is usually the fastest way to find out what's actually open.
