Nano Stratospheric Aerosol Measurement (NanoSAM)

• Description: The NanoSAM team will collaborate with engineers at Ball Aerospace Corporation to design, construct, and test a functioning optics system that is capable of measuring solar irradiance in a narrow spectral band around 1.02 um to obtain stratospheric aerosol concentrations data. An accompanying electronics system will also be produced for the purpose of collecting, packetizing, and outputting irradiance data.
