This project entitled « , Prototype Development of the Limb Imaging FTS Experiment (LIFE) for a Stratospheric Balloon » will encompass the end-to-end design and stratospheric balloon test flight of a prototype satellite instrument. The Limb Imaging FTS Experiment (LIFE) 
will take detailed measurements of greenhouse gases in a region of the upper atmosphere that is a key link in the Earth's climate system and important for our ability to estimate and predict air quality. Several high qualified personnel will be trained in space science and engineering through the design, development, calibration, balloon flight and analysis of the measurements.
