Description
The Spatial Heterodyne Observations of Water (SHOW) instrument is designed to vertically resolve water profiles from limb scattered sunlight in the upper troposphere – lower stratosphere (UTLS) region of the atmosphere. These high spatial resolution profiles are attained through the use of a Spatial Heterodyne Spectrometer (SHS) operating within a vibrational band of water. Though this technology has been demonstrated successfully in a laboratory environment, it remains relatively immature in the context of a space mission and would benefit from a technology demonstration associated with a balloon flight. This contract will implement the necessary design adjustments to adapt the current SHOW instrument for balloon flight, followed by assembly, integration, and verification of instrument operability.

Initial period of the Contract
The award contract date to April 30, 2014

Optional period of the Contract
From April 2014 to November 30, 2014
