Performance Predictions for the MSX SPIRIT III Interferometer Spectrometer

Abstract

Reported are predictions of spectrum signal and total system noise for the MSX SPIRIT III interferometer as a function of both line-of-sight tangent height and wavelength. Also given are estimates of the tangent heights corresponding to saturation of the electronics. These results provide a basis for the final section of the interferometer bands and for developing MSX earthlimb background experiment plans.
