Three-Channel Airglow Photometer Data Analysis Methodology

Abstract

A new class of compact, high-sensitivity three-channel photometers has been developed by NRL for ionospheric remote sensing from CubeSats and other platforms. This report reviews the heritage, details the methodology, and outlines the requirements and assumptions needed to derive ionospheric recombination emission intensities from three-channel photometer data.
