Air-LUSI: Autonomous telescope design for lunar spectral irradiance measurements
Abstract
air-LUSI is a NASA sponsored project which uses optical and robotic equipment to autonomously capture radiometric measurements of the Moon from within the science pod of an ER-2 aircraft while flying at an altitude of 70,000 feet. The air-LUSI instrument was deployed for its first engineering flight campaign on August 1st and 2nd, 2018 and captured the worlds first High Altitude Lunar Spectral Irradiance (LUSI) measurements from a semi-ground …
