METEORS
Mesosphere-Thermosphere Emissions for Ozone Remote Sensing
METEORS was a NASA Langley sounding rocket program subcontracted to SDL. SDL built and integrated the science section. The primary instruments provided by SDL included a 9.6 µm Circular Variable Filter spectrometer (CVF), a 2-channel near-IR Warm Infrared Radiometer, and an atomic oxygen resonance-fluorescence/absorption experiment (ATOX). JHU/APL provided a Near Infrared Spectrometer. NASA Wallops provided integration and launch support. METEORS launched successfully from White Sands Missile Range on 8 August 1997.
