TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: NanoSatellite Atmospheric Chemistry Hyperspectral Observation System (NACHOS)

ny amounts of gases in Earth�s atmosphere�like pollutants, volcanic emissions, or wildfire smoke�is vital for conducting atmospheric research and response to regional disasters. However, the instruments capable of such high-sensitivity, high-resolution measurements have traditionally been large, exp

ensive, and mounted on big satellites with powerful communications systems. This creates two main barriers: the cost and complexity of launching such instruments, and the difficulty of transmitting the enormous amounts of raw hyperspectral
