© Copyright 2006 ABB Bomem Inc. Page 4 Background Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment ( ACE) development started early 1999 (Phase B contract award) under Canadian Space Agency’s Space Science program. Mission objectives: better understanding of atmospheric chemistry of ozone The instrument suite includes an FTS, two 128x128 sun imagers and an active sun-tracker Prime contractor is ABB Bomem Inc., with main subcontractors Ball Aerospace and EMS Technologies. Many persons have contributed to the ACE-FTS development, including universities and research labs. The FTS design is based on the classical Michelson interferometer with a double-pass optical layout. It is tilt and shear compensated and requires no active alignment. The ACE-FTS Instrument was launched August 12 th, 2003

© Copyright 2006 ABB Bomem Inc. Page 5 Main Design and Programmatic Requirements ACE science objectives require High spectral resolution (0.02 cm -1 ), High SNR (> 100) Wide spectral coverage ( cm -1 ) Combination of these three requirements resulted in a challenging instrument design. Jacquinot merit factor W is >3x10 7 Highest merit factor ever targeted for a space-borne spectrometer operating in the infrared. Instrument design is also constrained by low mass (40 kg), power (40 W) and volume allocations from the spacecraft bus. Scisat-1 mission is a small satellite mission concept Program required to design and manufacture a low cost, quickly- developed instrument while keeping risks as low as possible.
