NRL sensor to measure natural airglow in the upper atmosphere

Fri, 20 Oct 2006 17:26:37 +0200

The second of five Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI) remote sensing instruments, developed by the Naval Research Laboratory, was launched on November 4, 2006 on board the DMSP F-17 satellite. SSULI is the first operational instrument of its kind and provides a new technique for remote sensing of the ionosphere and thermosphere from space. SSULI's measurements will provide scientific data supporting military and civil systems and will assist in predicting atmospheric drag effects on satellites and reentry vehicles. A Boeing Delta 4 vehicle launched the Air Force's Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) F-17 satellite and the SSULI sensor into low earth orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. SSULI will be powered on and start initial sensor checkout 30 days after launch.

Orion Unveils OS100 Gallium Nitride ultraviolet Sensor

Sat, 26 Aug 2006 21:46:23 +0200

While typical UV sensors generate a wide output range for a given UV index, the OS100 can be supplied to a +/- 3% tolerance enabling the device to be used without in-circuit trimming. Alternatively the device may be supplied in module form producing a known amplified output for a given UV intensity...
