Satellite-borne infrared Fourier spectrometers for planetary studies
Abstract
The basic advantages of infrared Fourier spectrometers (IFS) over other types of infrared spectrometers are described. A description is then given of the SI-1 IFS, which was used in experiments aboard the Meteor 25, 28, and 29 satellites. The principles underlying the design of the FS-1/4 IFS, intended for planetary studies, are also discussed. A comparative table of the basic parameters of satellite-borne IFSs for the investigation of the terrestrial planets is presented, and the development of IFSs for the investigation of the giant planets is briefly considered.
