Development and Performance Validation of a Miniature Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (MIFPS) Through Stratospheric Balloon Flight
FY 2020-21 · 2020-07-08
Summary
Remote sensing of surface pressure and aerosol information are both relevant to a better climate understanding. In the project context of “Development and Validation of a Miniature Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrometer (MIFPS) Through Stratospheric Balloon Flight”, the intent is to design, develop, and validate an innovative instrument. A stratospheric balloon is identified as a highly effective platform for validating this instrument. It will then be ready for long-term climate observations from satellites.
The project also aims to foster the continuing development of a critical mass of researchers in Canada by providing a training ground for both the current and next generations of scientists and engineers. Moreover, it provides a unique opportunity for scientists and engineers to work closely together on a space mission, as well as future space missions.

Description (French)
La télédétection de la pression de surface et les informations sur les aérosols sont toutes deux pertinentes pour une meilleure compréhension du climat. Dans le cadre du projet « Développement et validation d'un spectromètre imageur miniature de Fabry-Perot (MIFPS) par vol de ballon stratosphérique », l'intention est de concevoir, développer et valider un instrument innovant. Un ballon stratosphérique est identifié comme une plateforme très efficace pour valider cet instrument. Il sera alors prêt pour les observations climatiques à long terme par satellite.
Le projet vise également à favoriser le développement continu d'une masse critique de chercheurs au Canada en fournissant un milieu de formation pour les générations actuelles et futures de scientifiques et d'ingénieurs. En outre, il offre une occasion unique aux scientifiques et aux ingénieurs de travailler en étroite collaboration sur une mission spatiale, ainsi que sur de futures missions spatiales.
Expected Results
The Research component of the program provides financial support to organizations to conduct space related research and development in priority areas. It will support targeted knowledge development and innovation to sustain and enhance the Canadian capacity to use space to address national needs and priorities in the future.
Expected Results (French)
Le volet Recherche du programme offre aux organisations une aide financière qui leur permettra de mener leurs activités de recherche et développement spatiales dans des secteurs prioritaires. Ce volet appuiera le développement des connaissances et l’innovation dans les domaines ciblés de manière à soutenir et à accroître la capacité du Canada d’utiliser l’espace pour répondre aux besoins et aux priorités du pays dans le futur.
