The project consists in the creation of a critical mass of engineers, scientists and students through the re-flight of an improved imaging O2 Fabry-Perot (F-P) spectrometer, which has been developed and used during a recent stratospheric balloon flight in Kiruna, Sweden. The project will provide the detailed adaptation and the certification of this F-P spectrometer for research on climate change. The team composed with engineers and scientists will work closely on mechanical, electronics and optical systems design to improve this spectrometer for better measurement performance.
