Three infrared spectrometers, an atmospheric chemistry suite for the ExoMars 2016 trace gas orbiter
Montmessin, Franck; Korablev, Oleg; Moshkin, Boris +8 more
The atmospheric chemistry suite (ACS) package is a part of the Russian contribution to the ExoMars ESA-Roscosmos mission. ACS consists of three separate infrared spectrometers, sharing common mechanical, electrical, and thermal interfaces. The near-infrared (NIR) channel is a versatile spectrometer for the spectral range of 0.7-1.6 µm with a…
