Measure atmospheric greenhouse gases using mini-Laser Heterodyne Radiometer.

Description

Measure atmospheric greenhouse gases from an occultation-viewing CubeSat using mini-Laser Heterodyne Radiometer. The concentrations of greenhouse gases are found by measuring their absorption of infrared sunlight. Observe the region between the upper troposphere to the lower stratosphere between six and 18 miles above Earth’s surface.
