CRISTA Schlussbericht

In the frame of the CRISTA project (CRISTA - CRyogene Infrarot Spektrometer und Teleskope fuer die Atmosphaere) a 3D infrared (3-17 #mu#m) measuring instrument for remote atmospheric sensing with high spatial resolution has been developed for the study of middle atmosphere small scale structures on a global scale. The CRISTA instrument has been designed for participation in the NASA Space Shuttle missions. Three telescopes are used for horizontal resolution. Rapid detection and self-emission suppression is achieved by liquid helium cooling. Atmospheric trace gases were recorded by the CRISTA instrument in connection with the STS 66 mission in November 1994. Continued data analysis are carried out by CRISTA/MAHRSI campaign science teams integrating the MAHRSI experiment of the Naval Research Laboratory.
