Recommendations for Interaction with Industry
§
Cost evaluation:
§
Involve industry in budgetary evaluation as early as
possible through RFI type AO or other mechanism.
§
Labor rate evaluation in industry often differs from that of
academia/institute due to larger accounting perimeter for
facility/equipment amortization.
§
Profit is often limited in large R&D government contract
§
Involve industry as early as possible to transfer knowledge
and refine cost evaluations
§
NFIRAOS process allows early industrial involvement in low
risk contract (detailed design completion).
§
Selected approach might prevent true competition for most
expensive work packages. Sponsoring competitive parallel
early low cost phase may help preserve competition for
manufacturing phase.

a value as fine as
0.6 cm −1, equivalent
to more than 28000
spectral bands
UVN Astronomical Imaging Spectrometers
SITELLE
§
The imaging or FOV coverage offered by SITELLE is unrivaled in astronomy
as most hyperspectral imager are dispersive-based which limits their true
imaging pixels to a few thousands
§
One of the greatest challenge of SITELLE is its ability to obtain good fringe
contrast (or modulation efficiency) down to 350 nm since the science case
aims at observing the O3 doublet at 372.7 nm in galaxies and nebulae
§
This sets very high WFE requirements for the interferometer optics which
when combined with the large throughput of the instrument and the
operating temperature range leads to significant engineering challenges
§
The instrument weight nearly 400 kg despite making large uses of Carbon
fiber in its structure (tubes & interferometer housing). The interferometer
optics of diameter between 15 and 20 cm must maintain a peak to valley
wavefront error of less than 25 nm (~5 nm RMS) across the ±10° operating
temperature and all telescope pointing angles
§
The high photon collection capability requested by the science goals also
required the development of custom broad band UV-VIS anti-reflection
coatings on all 23 surfaces encountered by the science light before reaching
the detector

ABB (Bomem): Roots to the Very Beginning of FTS…
Some perspective on how it all started for us
A long standing vision from co-founder & current CTO Henry Buijs
§
1962: Henry’s 1st contact with FTS at UofT as an undergrad
working for young Prof. Herbert Gush who just had a grant from
US Army to study ballistic missile post flight detectability.
§
Together they build an FTS to fly on a sub-orbital balloon in the
summer. This is the 2nd sub-orbital balloon flight in Canada!
§
Gush must to return to UofT for fall semester teaching. Buijs
finishes the experiment alone at DRDC Valcartier.
§
They later publish the first spectra of the night time airglow
computed manually! (computer & FFT not invented yet)

§
The ACE-FTS instrument, originally designed for a twoyear lifetime, has been operating for ten years and still
continues to provide exceptional scientific data about
the Earth’s atmosphere
§
The CrIS interferometers, built by ABB under a 50 M$
contract, are among the most sophisticated optical
systems ever built for weather applications
In 2009, the Canadian Aeronautics and Space Institute
(CASI) awarded the SCISAT-1 team with the Alouette Award
for outstanding contribution to advancement in Canadian
space technology, applications, science, and engineering
ABB Remote Sensing
Awards and success
§
In June 2006, ABB has also been presented with a NPOESS
Outstanding Supplier Award from Northrop Grumman Corp.,
for exceptional NPOESS teamwork in the manufacture and
delivery of the CrIS interferometer
§
In May 2011, Dr. Henry L. Buijs, co-founder and CTO at ABB,
was awarded the John Chapman Award from the CSA for his
contributions to the Canadian space program

§
Henry Buijs established FTS as a powerful technique and
a core Canadian expertise used for the monitoring of the
atmosphere from space
§
He also contributed, in 1962, to the first balloon-borne
measurement of night time atmospheric airglow. Fifty
years later, CSA’s SCISAT-1 is making major
contributions to the understanding of ozone chemistry
using the same measurement technique.
