Contract Description
NACHOS is a compact CubeSat instrument that detects and maps trace gases in Earth’s atmosphere with unprecedented detail, enabling low-cost, high-resolution environmental monitoring from space. The Challenge Detecting tiny amounts of gases in Earth’s atmosphere—like pollutants, volcanic emissions, or wildfire smoke—is vital for conducting atmospheric research and response to regional disasters. However, the instruments capable of such high-sensitivity, high-resolution measurements have traditionally been large, expensive, and mounted on big satellites with powerful communications systems. This creates two main barriers: the cost and complexity of launching such instruments, and the difficulty of transmitting the enormous amounts of raw hyperspectral data they produce.
