  • Method and system of imaging electrons in the near earth space environment
    Patent number: 8181511
    Abstract: A method and system of globally monitoring space weather conditions, use an imager, including one or more telescopic instruments and one or more processors, containing computer program code. The imager is configured on a platform; and positioned in the near Earth space environment, where, based on the executed computer program code, the imager compiles information about space weather conditions, by directly detecting electron emissions on a global basis. Network interfaces coupled with the imager provide, over a communications network, a plurality of communications and information, about space weather conditions, between the imager and a plurality of operational space assets and operational Earth assets. The plurality of communications and information about space weather conditions includes signals and information which automatically alert the plurality of operational space assets and operational Earth assets of effects of a solar wind.

  • Imaging channeled spectrograph
    Patent number: H1152
    Abstract: An Imaging Channeled Spectrograph is provided which comprises a Fabry-Perot bandpass filter followed by a wide-slit imaging grating spectrograph, and which thus combines the two dimensional monochromatic imaging of a Fabry-Perot bandpass filter system with the high resolution and comprehensive wavelength coverage of a grating spectrograph. The Imaging Channeled Spectrograph produces a series of simultaneous, high resolution, non-overlapping, two dimensional monochromatic images of the entrance slit uniformly distributed over a large spectral range.
