Abstract. During the 2017 Ozone Water Land Environmental Transition Study (OWLETS), Langley mobile ozone lidar system utilized a new small diameter receiver to improve retrieval of near-surface signals from 0.1 1 km in altitude. This utilizes single 90 ∘ fiber-coupled, off-axis parabolic mirror resulting compact form that is easy align. The reflective surface offers opportunity easily expand its use multiple wavelengths for additional measurement channels such as visible wavelength aerosol...

REMI (Reduced Envelope Multispectral Imager) is a new instrument developed by Ball Aerospace specifically for the Sustained Land Imaging (SLI) program. The goal of to meet current Landsat mission requirements with much smaller volume, lower cost payload. A single unit recurring enables economies scale on multiple builds leveraging non-recurring engineering costs. This copies on-orbit at same time improved temporal sampling, an innovative approach space segment reliability, and more frequent...
Space imagery provides a unique resource for addressing environmental challenges associated with land cover change, use, disaster relief, deforestation, regional planning and global change research. At Ball Aerospace, we are developing the Compact Hyperspectral Prism Spectrometer (CHPS) as candidate imaging spectrometer technology insertion into future Sustainable Land Imaging missions. The 2013 NRC report Landsat Beyond: Sustaining Enhancing Nations Program recommended that nation should...
