The Radiation and Dust Sensor is one of six sensors the Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer onboard Perseverance rover from 2020 NASA mission. Its primary goal to characterize airbone dust in atmosphere, inferring its concentration, shape optical properties. Thanks geometry, sensor will be capable studying dust-lifting processes with a high temporal resolution spatial coverage. multiwavelength design, it solar spectrum Mars' surface. present work describes design scientific technical...
Abstract The Mars Environmental Dynamics Analyzer, onboard the Perseverance rover, is a meteorological station that operating on and includes, among other sensors, radiometer Radiation Dust Sensor (RDS). From RDS irradiance observations, total of 374 dust devils (DDs) were detected for first 365 sols mission (Ls = 6°–182°), which along with wind pressure measurements, we estimated DD frequency formation at Jezero between 1.3 3.4 km −2 sol −1 (increasing as move from spring into summer). This...
The crystalline Si bifacial PV module market has grown significantly in recent years due to the opportunity for increased performance comparison traditional modules because both sides of cell can absorb solar radiation. Draft technical specification IEC TS 60904-1-2 (Measurement current-voltage characteristics devices) sets limits on permissible deviations operating conditions, e.g. irradiance non-uniformity. One purpose this work is ensure correct evaluation real outdoor conditions...
There is increasing interest in the crystalline Si bifacial PV module market due to opportunity for increased performance comparison traditional modules because both sides absorb solar radiation. Draft standard IEC TS 609041-2 (Measurement of current-voltage characteristics devices) describes measurement methods and also sets limits on permissible deviations operating conditions, e.g. irradiance non-uniformity. The objective this work evaluate rear side non-uniformity when employing natural...
This work presents the procedure and results of optical calibration SIS'22 Solar_Irradiance_Sensor (SIS'22) METEO, meteorological stations for Exomars 2022 Kazachok lander. The applied this multichannel radiometer is an update ones carried out on DREAM-SIS Schiaparelli [11]lander in ExoMars '16 RDS (Radiation_and_Dust_Sensor) NASA/JPL Perseverance rover [7], both sensors designed calibrated by INTA. main innovation introduced since DREAMS SIS inclusion some corrections models to improve...
Aerosols on Mars are a primary elements for studying the interaction between solar radiation and atmosphere surface. Depending properties such as aerosol number density, particle radius, or refractive index, impact of aerosols can provide positive negative radiative feedbacks dynamics atmosphere. Previous studies have revealed large temporal spatial variability in optical properties, emphasizing necessity continuous monitoring these throughout day at multiple locations. To address...
The Miniaturized LIDAR for MARS Atmospheric Research (MiLi) project falls within the European Union funding program called Horizon Europe [1]. Within this general framework, being presented is classified under cluster 4 - Digital, Industry, and Space [2]. investment in different projects fourth point pursues idea of global leadership industry key areas, through development competitive trustworthy technologies. This sets foundation a competitive, digital, sustainable, circular that allows...
Ozone plays a key role in both atmospheric chemistry and UV absorption planetary atmospheres. On Mars, upper-tropospheric ozone has been widely characterized by space-based instruments. However, surface remains poorly characterized, hindered the limited sensitivity of orbiters to lowest scale height atmosphere challenges delivering payloads which have prevented, date, measurement from Mars. Systematic measurements Martian could advance our knowledge habitability potential this planet. NASA’s...

<h3><strong>Introduction</strong></h3> <p>INTA Payloads and Space Science Department is involved in several scientific missions to Mars, developing solar irradiance sensors (SIS), name given for these devices which are multispectral multichannel radiometers atmosphere studies.</p> <p>Two SIS were manufactured before 2015: MetSIS (a radiometer intended be launched onboard the Mars MetNet...
<p>The composition of the Martian atmosphere and its dust content is a key factor for understanding climate Red Planet, which vital importance to enable future human exploration. The use atmospheric LIDARs characterize densities sizes aerosol with height profile, commonly used on Earth. However, Earth are heavy very power-demanding, make them not easily on-boardable planetary exploration.</p> <p>We propose development compact LIDAR aimed at providing...
