Experience
DICE
Dynamic Ionosphere Cubesat Experiment
Twin CubeSats mapped the geomagnetic Storm Enhanced Density (SED) plasma bulge and plume formations in Earth’s ionosphere.
AIM/SOFIE
Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere Solar Occultation for Ice Experiment
SOFIE is one of three instruments aboard the Aeronomy of Ice in the Mesosphere (AIM) satellite. AIM’s objective is to study polar mesospheric clouds and the environment in which they form.
HARP
HyperAngular Rainbow Polarimeter
The HARP instrument is a wide field-of-view hyperangular imaging polarimeter designed to characterize aerosol and cloud properties.
SPIRIT III
Spatial Infrared Imaging Telescope
SPIRIT III was the infrared sensor aboard MDA’s Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX). This long-wave infrared instrumentation package consisted of a high spatial resolution radiometer, a high spectral resolution interferometer-spectrometer, and an extremely high-off-axis-rejection telescope.
