Development of the Martian Atmospheric Gas Evolution Experiment – Inter Cavity Optical Spectroscopy (MAGE ICOS)

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) requires specialized research and development services to advance the Martian Atmospheric Gas Evolution Experiment – Inter Cavity Optical Spectroscopy (MAGE ICOS). The work will focus on maturing ICOS technology for in situ detection of methane on Mars, including: • development and optimization of low pressure ICOS instrumentation; • miniaturization of instrument mass and volume relative to commercial ICOS systems; • environmental testing under simulated Martian a...
