We have produced annual estimates of national and global gas flaring and gas flaring
efficiency from 1994 through 2008 using low light imaging data acquired by the Defense …

Much of the mass of most meteoroids entering the Earth's atmosphere is consumed in the
process of ablation. Larger meteoroids (> 10 cm), which in some cases reach the ground as …

CUMULOS is a three-camera system flying as a secondary payload on the Integrated Solar
Array and Reflectarray Antenna (ISARA) mission with the goals of researching the use of …

The VIIRS day/night band (DNB) high gain stage (HGS) pixel effective dwell time is in the
range of 2–3 milliseconds (ms), which is about one third of the flicker cycle present in lighting …

Monitoring of visible emissions at night from satellites has evolved into a useful capability
for environmental monitoring and mapping the global human footprint. Pioneering work with …

An opportunity arose to demonstrate optical crosslink pointing between two CubeSats in
LEO using spacecraft not specifically designed for that purpose. The AeroCube-7 spacecraft, …

This thesis reports the first optical dephasing study of an inorganic impurity system possessing
sharp, low frequency mode structure in its ground and excited state spectra. The total …

Optical evidence of multiple Ce 3+: Na+ charge-compensation sites in codoped Ce 3+: Na+:
CaF 2 and Ce 3+: Na+: SrF 2 crystals is reported. High-resolution absorption and laser-…
