ACCOMPLISHMENTS
- Spectral Sciences built two
sensors utilizing the design, but modified it for detection of hydrogen
chloride in the exhaust of solid propellant rocket motors
- These sensors have been used
to monitor hydrogen chloride concentrations in airborne rocket motor
exhaust clouds
|
COMMERCIALIZATION
- Outstanding purchase order from
ABB Process Analytics to deliver a version of the light source for
their evaluation
- This technology has been used
in an ongoing measurement program performed jointly with Thiokol
Corporation for the U.S. Air Force
- Used to measure HCl released
into the air by Titan rocket motors for the U.S. Air Force
|
GOVERNMENT/SCIENCE
APPLICATIONS
- Monitoring of CO levels
on the Space Station
- Measurement of HCl
gas released into the environment by solid propellant rocket motors
