Abstract The design and laboratory demonstration of a prototype sensor for measuring thermospheric red-line winds from a 6U CubeSat is described. The sensor uses the flight spare interferometer developed for the MIGHTI instrument on NASA's ICON satellite with a more limited scientific scope to enable it to fit within the limited volume of a 6U CubeSat. A performance model coupled with laboratory phase shift measurements demonstrate the capability of the sensor for thermospheric, atomic-oxygen, red-line wind measurements.

mini-MIGHTI 的实验室演示：来自 6U CubeSat 的用于热层红线 (630 nm) 中性风测量的原型传感器

摘要 描述了用于测量来自 6U 立方体卫星的热层红线风的原型传感器的设计和实验室演示。该传感器使用为 NASA ICON 卫星上的 MIGHTI 仪器开发的飞行备用干涉仪，其科学范围更有限，使其能够适应 6U CubeSat 的有限体积。性能模型与实验室相移测量相结合，展示了传感器用于热层、原子氧、红线风测量的能力。
