Investigation of anomalous transport in the lower thermosphere Project
Near-simultaneously deployed chemical tracer trails over an extended horizontal range will be used to obtain measurements of the turbulent structure function and (the... -
The High resolution Coronal Imager Project
The telescope design is a direct continuation of the development from NIXT to TRACE and AIA: we propose a Ritchey-Chr´etien with plate scale sufficient to provide 0.1... -
Sounding rocket payload systems for in-situ measurements of ionosphere-thermosphere structure at small spatial scales Project
The methodology developed under this grant is primarily an effort to develop new sub-payload technologies and an inexpensive method of testing them. The three technical goals... -
Rapid Acquisition Imaging Spectrograph (RAISE) Renewal Proposal Project
The optical design of RAISE is based on a new class of UV/EUV imaging spectrometers that use only two reflections to provide quasi-stigmatic performance simultaneously... -
Advanced Rapid Imaging & Analysis for Monitoring Hazards (ARIA-MH) Project
Develop a service-oriented hazard/disaster monitoring data system enabling both science and decision-support communities to monitor ground motion in areas of interest with InSAR... -
Infrared Interferometry of Auroral Ionosphere-Thermosphere Energetics Project
The FWMI prototype development is underway at USU/SDL. To develop the FWMI, USU/SDL is leveraging the successful implementation of a rocket-borne Michelson... -
A 2-Micron Pulsed Laser Transmitter for Direct Detection Column CO2 Measurement from Space Project
