Sentences with phrase «spectrometer aboard»

As New Horizons glides behind Pluto and its shadow during the flyby, an ultraviolet imaging spectrometer aboard the spacecraft, named Alice, will analyze the filtered sunlight that passes through Pluto's atmosphere.

The infrared spectrometer aboard Galileo was not capable of providing the detail needed to definitively identify some of the materials present on the surface.

Now, a team using an imaging spectrometer aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter reports the discovery of numerous patches of opaline silica across the Red Planet.

However, the Rosina mass spectrometer aboard Rosetta found that the ratio of deuterium to hydrogen in the comet is far greater than that found on Earth, adding to the growing body of evidence that the water on Earth was delivered not by comets, as previously thought, but by asteroids.

More intensive studies of Pluto begin in the spring, when the cameras and spectrometers aboard New Horizons will be able to provide image resolutions higher than the most powerful telescopes on Earth.

Not exact matches

Once he had the signal from the lab glass, he used an algorithm designed to pick out similar signals in data from the Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM), which flies aboard NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

DAMPE's data could help to determine whether a surprising pattern in the abundance of high - energy electrons and positrons — detected by the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) aboard the International Space Station — comes from dark matter or from astronomical sources such as pulsars, says Pohl, who also works on the AMS.

But this study, using the Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) aboard Cassini, did not find that:

ERICA, a worldwide unique aerosol particle mass spectrometer was designed and constructed in Mainz specifically for these research flights aboard the M - 55 Geophysika.

They used detailed data from Moon Mineralogy Mapper, a spectrometer that flew aboard India's Chandrayaan - 1 spacecraft for which Pieters is principal investigator.

The photodetector array camera and spectrometer (PACS) aboard the Herschel Space Observatory allows imaging observations in the far infrared at unprecedented resolution, i.e. at better than 6» to 12» over the wavelength range of 60 -LCB- \ mu -RCB- m to 210 -LCB- \ mu -RCB- m. Together with the results from ground - based observations, these spatially resolved data can be modelled to determine the nature of the debris and its evolution more reliably than would be possible from unresolved data alone.

In addition to providing important information on its own, NGIMS would complement other instruments aboard, specifically the Imaging Ultraviolet Spectrometer, which would also measure gas composition.
