The Ozone and Mapping Profiler Suite (OMPS) is an instrument suite in the National Polar-orbiting Operation Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). The OMPS instrument is designed to globally retrieve both total column ozone and ozone profiles. To d

Space-based, high resolution, Earth remote sensing systems, that employ large, flexible, lightweight primary mirrors, will require active wavefront correction, in the form of active and adaptive optics, to correct for thermally and vibrationally indu

A NASA research contract (NAS1-00116) was awarded to Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp. in January 2000 to study wide field-of-view adaptive optical systems. These systems will be required on future high resolution Earth remote sensing systems that

The Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) is being developed for the United States National Polar-orbiting Operational Environmental Satellite System (NPOESS). We describe the optical design and predict the performance of the OMPS earth limb-imagin

We describe the features of the optical system for the Terrestrial Planet Finder, a space-based, cryogenic (35 K) interferometer for direct detection of Earth-type planets around nearby stars. Interferometric nulling suppresses stellar glare by a fac

A nulling interferometer for direct detection and spectral studies of the light from extra-solar planets would face daunting technical challenges. We outline a candidate optical architecture, discussing the major challenges in handling the starlight

Adaptive optics are regularly used in ground-based astronomical telescopes. These applications are characterized by a very narrow (~1 arcmin) field of view. For economic reasons, commercial space- based earth-observing optical systems must have a fie
