Calibration OGSEs for multichannel radiometers for Mars atmosphere studies

Jiménez, J. J.; J Álvarez, F.; Gonzalez-Guerrero, M. +5 more

This work describes several Optical Ground Support Equipment (OGSEs) developed by INTA (Spanish Institute of Aerospace Technology—Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial) for the calibration and characterization of their self-manufactured multichannel radiometers (solar irradiance sensors—SIS) developed for working on the surface of Mars and st…

Fourier transform spectrometers for remote sensing of planetary atmospheres and surfaces

Korablev, Oleg; Grigoriev, Alexey; Ignatiev, Nikolay +14 more

In planetary research, Fourier transform infrared spectrometers (FTIR) solve a number of important scientific goals related both to the atmosphere and to the surface sounding. For remote orbital measurements, these goals are the thermal sounding of the atmosphere using, in particular, the 15-µm CO₂ band, sensitive detections of minor ga…

ExoMars 2016, Orbiter module bus a GNC development update

Kutrowski, N.; Renault, H.; Sergent, N. +3 more

ExoMars programme is part of a cooperation between ESA and Roscosmos. It foresees two missions to Mars that aim to searching for signs of past and present life on Mars, investigating the Martian atmosphere and surface and demonstrating the technologies needed to land on Mars and perform robotic exploration. The first spacecraft launched in early 2…
