Compact Lyman-Alpha Spatial heterodyne Spectrometer (CLASS)

2023-02-16T21:41:49Z

}}
==Overview==
The Compact Lyman-alpha Spatial heterodyne Spectrometer (CLASS) is a spectrometer that makes of an interferometric technology called Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer (SHS) that enables CLASS to obtain ultra-high sensitivity data from angularly extended and diffused targets such as the solar corona. The low-mass, compact configuration of CLASS enables sensitive, high-resolution spectroscopy for SmallSat missions. CLASS is configurable for a variety of spectral lines with a very narrow bandpass anywhere from the FUV to the visible, but for development, CLASS is configured to target the H I Lyα line at 1216 angstrom.

==Principle of Operations==
SHS is a form of a Fourier Transform Spectrometer. SHS consists of a grating (which functions as a beam splitter/beam combiner), a flat mirror, and a roof mirror (to laterally separate the input beam from the output beam). In an all-reflective cyclical SHS configuration, the incoming collimated light is incident on the grating at a normal angle; splits into two arms, with each arm incident on the flat mirror and roof-mirror; the dispersed light then recombines through the same path back on the grating for the second diffraction before exiting the interferometer toward the sensor. The input field stop is an integral part of the SHS, eliminating the fringe pattern degeneracy outside the interferometer FOV. In SHS, the interference fringes have high visibility over only a precise surface in the observation space called the Fringe Localization Plane (FLP).

==Overview==
This project aims to develop a miniaturized, High-Energy-Resolution relativistic electron Telescope (HERT) that can be easily accommodated into future CubeSat/SmallSat missions to understand and quantify the effect of acceleration mechanism throughout the entire radiation belts to GEO using a novel method of probing electron flux oscillations.

HERT uses a stack of solid-state silicon detectors in a telescope configuration to measure 1-7 MeV electron measurements with an energy resolution (dE/E) <10%.

==Principle of Operations==
HERT is comprised of a stack of nine solid-state silicon detectors in a telescope configuration with a beryllium window to block lower energy electrons, and a tantalum collimator to enforce the required FOV. Sensor shielding with high-Z materials surrounds the instrument to reduce the amount of radiation exposure at GTO. The final detector in the stack would be used to filter out penetrating particles.

Solar Neutron Tracking (SONTRAC) spectrometer

==Overview==
Fast neutrons (> 0.5 MeV) are ubiquitous, originating from nuclear interactions in the solar corona, within planetary atmospheres, and in the lunar regolith. However, measurements of fast neutrons of solar origin are limited due to the challenges imposed by high backgrounds and the relatively short lifetime of free neutrons. Traditional double-scatter neutron spectrometers require an incident neutron to elastically scatter in two widely separated detectors, allowing the reconstruction of
the incident neutron energy and direction. While double-scatter spectrometers are well-proven, they suffer from low effective area due to spacecraft size constraints and limited resolution. The Solar Neutron TRACking (SONTRAC) concept overcomes these limitations through the use of stacked planes of plastic scintillating fibers arranged in an orthogonal configuration, to measure the ionization tracks of recoil protons. The recoil proton energy and direction supplant the need to measure the neutron time-of-flight between detectors, thereby increasing the effective area and detection efficiency. SONTRAC employs modern, miniature silicon photomultipliers
(SiPM) to measure the light output from the fibers.

}}
==Overview==
The Compact Ion Mass Spectrometer (CIMS) is a highly compact ion mass spectrometer capable of mass resolution for low-energy space plasma. CIMS is capable of measuring flux, energy, and mass of ions providing measurements of the ionospheric outflow and cold plasma in the magnetosphere. The CIMS utilizes a laminated collimator to define the field-of-view, a laminated electrostatic analyzer to selectively filter ions based on energy -per-charge, a magnetic sector analyzer to separate ions by mass-per-charge, and a microchannel plate with a position sensitive cross-delay anode assembly to detect the location of the ions on the detector plane. This ion mass spectrometer is a simple, compact, and robust instrument for obtaining low-energy (0.1 eV to 1000 eV) ion composition measurements (H+, He+ , He++, O+, N+, NO+, N2+) of ionospheric and cold magnetospheric space plasma.

==Principle of Operations==
The CIMS instrument is most accurately described as a double focusing mass spectrometer and utilizes electric and magnetic field geometries to focus in both direction and energy. With the use of this design, based on the Mattauch-Herzog geometry, multiple ion species are spatially distributed by M/q along the focal plane and can be observed simultaneously as a true mass spectrum. The instrument is comprised of:
# a collimator to set the field-of-view (FOV);
# a laminated electrostatic analyzer to selectively filter ions by E/q;
# a magnetic sector analyzer to separate ions by M/q; and
# a microchannel plate (MCP) followed by position sensitive cross delay anode (XDL) assembly to detect the location of the ions on the detector plane.

==Advantages and Disadvantages==
The instrument design has significant mass and volume savings when compared to current state-of-the-art ion mass spectrometers and has the additional advantage of being able to simultaneously measure multiple ion species signals of a given energy at 100% duty cycle, thus providing a true mass spectrum. The extremely low resource requirements of the CIMS instrument in combination with the relaxed fabrication techniques and ease of assembly allows for rapid and low-cost production.

The CIMS utilizes a laminated collimator to define the field-of-view, a laminated electrostatic analyzer to selectively filter ions based on energy -per-charge, a magnetic sector analyzer to separate ions by mass-per-charge, and a microchannel plate with a position sensitive cross-delay anode assembly to detect the location of the ions on the detector plane. This ion mass spectrometer is a simple, compact, and robust instrument for obtaining low-energy (0.1 eV to 1000 eV) ion composition measurements (H+, He+ , He++, O+, N+, NO+, N2+) of ionospheric and cold magnetospheric space plasma.

==Principle of Operations==
The CIMS instrument is most accurately described as a double focusing mass spectrometer and utilizes electric and magnetic field geometries to focus in both direction and energy. With the use of this design, based on the Mattauch-Herzog geometry, multiple ion species are spatially distributed by M/q along the focal plane and can be observed simultaneously as a true mass spectrum. The instrument is comprised of:
# a collimator to set the field-of-view (FOV);
# a laminated electrostatic analyzer to selectively filter ions by E/q;
# a magnetic sector analyzer to separate ions by M/q; and
# a microchannel plate (MCP) followed by position sensitive cross delay anode (XDL) assembly to detect the location of the ions on the detector plane.

==Advantages and Disadvantages==
The instrument design has significant mass and volume savings when compared to current state-of-the-art ion mass spectrometers and has the additional advantage of being able to simultaneously measure multiple ion species signals of a given energy at 100% duty cycle, thus providing a true mass spectrum. The extremely low resource requirements of the CIMS instrument in combination with the relaxed fabrication techniques and ease of assembly allows for rapid and low-cost production.

Lower Hybrid Drift Waves and Associated Electron Heating during Guide field Reconnection

Wikiadmin:

{{Infobox Experiment

== Introduction ==

This project tests the basic eruption processes that occur on the Sun by using a laboratory experiments aided by numerical simulations. Solar eruptions are known to be related to magnetic reconnection which lead to global reconfiguration of the magnetic field. These global reconnection phenomena almost always occur unsteadily or impulsively. In laboratory fusion plasmas, reconnection is seen to occur suddenly with very fast semi-Alfvenic speed after a long flux build up phase. In
solar flares, reconnection sites are often identified with hard X-ray emissions near the top of solar flare arcades during Coronal Mass Ejections or near the top of a half-dome shape shape magnetic configuration (such as in a coronal hole). The reconnection speed was almost always measured to be very fast. Coronal X-ray jets are a subclass of the solar eruptions that can occur when a small bipolar magnetic arcade, a miniature active region, emerges in the feet of a high-reaching unipolar field,
such as the ambient field in a coronal hole or in one leg of a large-scale coronal
loop. The Hinode satellite reported the ubiquitous presence of chromospheric
jets with inverted Y-shaped exhausts outside sunspots. If the eruption makes the ejected plasma hot enough to be seen in coronal
X-ray movies such as from Hinode XRay Telescope (XRT), the eruption is observed as an X-ray jet [Shibata et al., 1992].
Shibata dubbed these dome-shaped structures ’anemones’ because of the fan shape of the magnetic field, similar to that of
a sea anemone. This magnetic configuration is similar enough to the spheromak which is one of the well explored fusion configurations [Bellan, 2000], which, in the low plasma pressure limit, is basically a simply connected force-free magnetic field configuration.

== Experimental Method ==
The laboratory experiments will be carried out at the Magnetic Reconnection Experiment (MRX) [Yamada et al., 1997], which was built in 1995 to study the fundamental
physics of magnetic reconnection. Magnetic profiles of spheromak are formed in MRX by producing a plasma discharge between two coaxial gun electrodes that are mounted on the one end of MRX. Prior to initiating the discharge, a static magnetic field is generated by currents that are driven in up to three
sets of independently controlled magnetic field coils. In order to enforce the requisite magnetic field line-tying in the electrode plane (i.e., the photosphere), magnetic field lines are connected to gun electrodes. Primarily an inductive spheromak gun constructed for the present experimental goals are used. Once the static background magnetic field has been generated, a small amount of neutral gas is injected. Typically, hydrogen or helium will be used due to their low mass and corresponding high degree of magnetization. In order to initiate the discharge, the capacitor bank that is connected across the electrodes is fired and the
plasma breaks down along the magnetic field lines that intersect the electrodes. The current in the inductive gun rises quasi-statically to satisfy slow build-up of the magnetic energy of a forming spheromak plasma.

A typical discharge lasts for less than a millisecond. The dynamic timescale of the plasma (i.e., the Alfv´en transit time) is 2 microseconds, while the driving timescale over which the plasma current is injected is 75–300 microseconds. The peak plasma current ranges from 10–15 kA, depending on the voltage applied by the driving capacitor bank. This amount of current is sufficient to produce non-potential magnetic fields of 100–300 G. Fields
of this strength are capable of modifying the applied potential field configuration.

A number of measurement devices are used to characterize the plasma,
* magnetic probes
* visible light camera to visualize discharges
* electrostatic probes
* interferometry, CO2 laser interferometer that provides non-perturbative line-integrated plasma density measurements

==Overview==
This project aims to develop a miniaturized, High-Energy-Resolution relativistic electron Telescope (HERT) that can be easily accommodated into future CubeSat/SmallSat missions to understand and quantify the effect of acceleration mechanism throughout the entire radiation belts to GEO using a novel method of probing electron flux oscillations.

HERT uses a stack of solid-state silicon detectors in a telescope configuration to measure 1-7 MeV electron measurements with an energy resolution (dE/E) <10%.

==Principle of Operations==
HERT is comprised of a stack of nine solid-state silicon detectors in a telescope configuration with a beryllium window to block lower energy electrons, and a tantalum collimator to enforce the required FOV. Sensor shielding with high-Z materials surrounds the instrument to reduce the amount of radiation exposure at GTO. The final detector in the stack would be used to filter out penetrating particles.

Laboratory Investigation of Satellite Gas-Surface Interactions for Accurate Construction of Atmospheric Models

== Introduction ==
Accurate estimates of neutral mass densities obtained from satellite drag are vital to NASA science objectives, including the construction of, validation, and assimilation into, atmospheric models. The interpretation of these measurements depends strongly on the assumptions made about atomic or molecular interactions with satellite surfaces. Such assumptions have been known to introduce errors into the construction of atmospheric models by modifying the aerodynamic coefficients (Ca) that determine scaling factors between observed drag and atmospheric density. This experiment investigates the interaction of atmospheric gases with spacecraft surfaces under conditions consistent with atmospheric pressures and composition near and above ~500 km altitude. The goal is to determine the fundamental gas-surface interaction (GSI) parameters needed to specify spacecraft Ca and atmospheric densities.

== Experimental Method ==

== Results ==
* The aerodynamic coefficient is altered by less than 5% by the composition of the spacecraft/debris surface.

== Introduction ==
Accurate estimates of neutral mass densities obtained from satellite drag are vital to NASA science objectives, including the construction of, validation, and assimilation into, atmospheric models. The interpretation of these measurements depends strongly on the assumptions made about atomic or molecular interactions with satellite surfaces. Such assumptions have been known to introduce errors into the construction of atmospheric models by modifying the aerodynamic coefficients (Ca) that determine scaling factors between observed drag and atmospheric density. This experiment investigates the interaction of atmospheric gases with spacecraft surfaces under conditions consistent with atmospheric pressures and composition near and above ~500 km altitude. The goal is to determine the fundamental gas-surface interaction (GSI) parameters needed to specify spacecraft Ca and atmospheric densities.

Compact Ion Mass Spectrometer (CIMS)

{{Infobox Technology
|pi=Carlos Maldonado
|inst=Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)
|trl=3
|instrument type = Ion Mass Spectrometer
|status = Active
}}
==Overview==
The Compact Ion Mass Spectrometer (CIMS) is a highly compact ion mass spectrometer capable of mass resolution for low-energy space plasma. CIMS is capable of measuring flux, energy, and mass of ions providing measurements of the ionospheric outflow and cold plasma in the magnetosphere. The CIMS utilizes a laminated collimator to define the field-of-view, a laminated electrostatic analyzer to selectively filter ions based on energy -per-charge, a magnetic sector analyzer to separate ions by mass-per-charge, and a microchannel plate with a position sensitive cross-delay anode assembly to detect the location of the ions on the detector plane. This ion mass spectrometer is a simple, compact, and robust instrument for obtaining low-energy (0.1 eV to 1000 eV) ion composition measurements (H+, He+ , He++, O+, N+, NO+, N2+) of ionospheric and cold magnetospheric space plasma.

==Principle of Operations==
The CIMS instrument is most accurately described as a double focusing mass spectrometer and utilizes electric and magnetic field geometries to focus in both direction and energy. With the use of this design, based on the Mattauch-Herzog geometry, multiple ion species are spatially distributed by M/q along the focal plane and can be observed simultaneously as a true mass spectrum. The instrument is comprised of:
# a collimator to set the field-of-view (FOV);
# a laminated electrostatic analyzer to selectively filter ions by E/q;
# a magnetic sector analyzer to separate ions by M/q; and
# a microchannel plate (MCP) followed by position sensitive cross delay anode (XDL) assembly to detect the location of the ions on the detector plane.

==Advantages and Disadvantages==
The instrument design has significant mass and volume savings when compared to current state-of-the-art ion mass spectrometers and has the additional advantage of being able to simultaneously measure multiple ion species signals of a given energy at 100% duty cycle, thus providing a true mass spectrum. The extremely low resource requirements of the CIMS instrument in combination with the relaxed fabrication techniques and ease of assembly allows for rapid and low-cost production.
