On-orbit absolute temperature calibration using multiple phase change materials: overview of recent technology advancements

TL;DR: In this article, a novel scheme to provide absolute calibration of temperature sensors on-orbit, that uses the transient melt signatures from multiple phase change materials, has been demonstrated in the laboratory at the University of Wisconsin and is now undergoing technology advancement under NASA Instrument Incubator Program funding.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

The heated halo for space-based blackbody emissivity measurement

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the results from the Heated Halo methodology implemented with a new Absolute Radiance Interferometer (ARI), which is a prototype space-based infrared spacecraft spectrometer designed for climate benchmarking.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Validation of Atmospheric InfraRed Sounder (AIRS) spectral radiances with the Scanning High-resolution Interferometer Sounder (S-HIS) aircraft instrument

TL;DR: In this article, an under-flight of the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on the NASA Aqua spacecraft by the Scanning High resolution Interferometer Sounder(S-HIS) on a NASA ER-2 high altitude aircraft was successfully demonstrated.
