SCRIBE Data of October 23, 1983 Flight.

Abstract

This document describes a cryogenic interferometer launched at 12:12 GMT from Holloman AFB, NM. The instrument package reached the ceiling altitude at approximately 14:00. The data measurement was terminated at approximately 16:00. The parameters pertinent to the data measurement are presented collectively in Figure 1. The on-board instrument functioned satisfactorily for most of this time period. The PCM telemetry data were found processable during this time except for a short period between 12:30 and 13:00. The interferometer sampling scheme worked satisfactorily. Only few interferogram data showed faulty sampling during the entire flight. Each interferogram scan took approximately 30 seconds covering the optical path difference range from 0 cm to its maximum value over 8.25 cm. The interferogram signals were recorded with adequate signal-to-noise ratio to warrant spectral resolution figure of 0.060265 1/cm. Additional keywords: Infrared emission; Atmospheric emission; Fourier spectroscopy; Charts; Computations. (Author)
