Sandtke, M. (author), Laan, E.C. (author), Ahlers, B. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)TNO has developed the combination of two spectroscopic analysis methods in one instrument. Raman spectroscopy and Laser-induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) were brought together for an instrument to be flown on the ExoMars mission from the European Space Agency (ESA) to investigate the Martian (sub-)surface by in-situ measurements. The...conference paper 2010

Cheng, L.K. (author), Ahlers, B. (author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)Europe is developing a new generation launcher, called Vega, a small launcher with a capacity to place satellites into polar and low-Earth orbits, which are used for many scientific and Earth observation missions. Its first launch is scheduled for early 2008. Dutch Space is responsible for the development, qualification and manufacturing of the...conference paper 2006

(author), TNO Industrie en Techniek (author)The calibration of SCIAMACHY was thoroughly checked since the instrument was launched on-board ENVISAT in February 2002. While SCIAMACHY's functional performance is excellent since launch, a number of technical difficulties have appeared, that required adjustments to the calibration. The problems can be separated into three types: (1) Those...article 2006
