Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) on AURA Spacecraft ECCOSORB® BSR-1/SS6M (.010

From Emerson & Cuming Microwave Products, Inc.
 

 

Custom fabricated parts cut via waterjet from ECCOSORB® BSR-1/SS6M absorber material were used as a key component on the Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS) instrument that will fly on the AURA spacecraft. It is part of the Earth Observing System of NASA that will passively monitor the Earth's naturally occurring microwave thermal emissions from the limb of Earth's atmosphere. The orbit allows the instrument to cover the entire surface of the earth in a few weeks with an operational lifetime of 5 years. The MLS measures the radiation given off by molecular processes that are taking place in the atmosphere.
