Optical components maker Bach Research has been awarded a contract from Ball Aerospace & Technologies (both in Boulder, CO) to manufacture and deliver custom diffraction gratings and spares that will fly aboard two pollution monitoring missions.
The components are being built for the Geostationary Environment Monitoring Spectrometer (GEMS) instrument for the Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI; Daejun, South Korea) and the Tropospheric Emissions: Monitoring of Pollution (TEMPO) instrument, a NASA Earth Venture mission. Both instruments are being built and designed by Ball Aerospace.
