  • calibration lamp design characterization and implementation for the michelson interferometer for global high resolution thermospheric imaging instrument on the ionospheric Connection satellite
    Optical Engineering, 2019
    Co-Authors: Kenneth D. Marr, Christoph R. Englert, John M. Harlander, Charles M. Brown, William H. Morrow, Angel Cerrato, Kelvin Lamport, S Harris
    Abstract:

    We describe the design and ground-based performance of the two-color calibration lamp for the Michelson Interferometer for Global High-Resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI) instrument on the NASA Ionospheric Connection (Icon) satellite. The calibration lamp assembly contains radio frequency excited krypton and neon lamps, which generate emission lines at 557 and 630 nm, respectively, and which are used to monitor thermal drifts in the two MIGHTI Doppler asymmetric spatial heterodyne interferometers. The lamps are coupled to two mixed optical fiber bundles that deliver the calibration signals to the two MIGHTI optical units. The assembly starts reliably, consumes <8  W, and has passed environmental testing for the Icon satellite. The total mass of the lamp assembly is 1.8 kg. Special features of the assembly and its implementation are described along with results of life tests.

  • Michelson Interferometer for Global High-Resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI): Monolithic Interferometer Design and Test
    Space Science Reviews, 2017
    Co-Authors: John M. Harlander, Christoph R. Englert, Charles M. Brown, Kenneth D. Marr, Ian J. Miller, Vaz Zastera, Bernhard W. Bach, Stephen B. Mende
    Abstract:

    The design and laboratory tests of the interferometers for the Michelson Interferometer for Global High-resolution Thermospheric Imaging (MIGHTI) instrument which measures thermospheric wind and temperature for the NASA-sponsored Ionospheric Connection (Icon) Explorer mission are described. The monolithic interferometers use the Doppler Asymmetric Spatial Heterodyne (DASH) Spectroscopy technique for wind measurements and a multi-element photometer approach to measure thermospheric temperatures. The DASH technique and overall optical design of the MIGHTI instrument are described in an overview followed by details on the design, element fabrication, assembly, laboratory tests and thermal control of the interferometers that are the heart of MIGHTI.
