High-Altitude Balloon Flight Demonstration Of Led-Based Ndir Multi-Gas Sensor For Space Applications

Abstract

A sensor which measures the concentrations of CO and CO2 aboard spacecraft could be used as an early fire detection system and a vital component of primary life support systems. Herein, such a sensor is presented which utilizes non dispersive infrared spectroscopy to detect gases. Design and results from testing on a high altitude baloon flight are presented. The goal of this work is to develop the hardware so that it is a rugged and viable technology for a variety of sensor applications in a variety of environments. It is, therefore, crucial that the hardware can reject heat at low pressures, survive the low-temperature operation, have low drift (stable output), remain low power, and be insensitive to humidity.
