Team 25: Miniature Cavity Enhanced Spectrometer (mACES) for Detecting NO2 Levels on a UAV
Above: Fully functional prototype of mACES with drone mounting capabilities.
mACES is a miniaturized solution to air quality monitoring that has the potential to revolutionize the measurement of atmospheric pollutants. Team 25 collaborated with NOAA鈥檚 Chemical Sciences Laboratory to convert a plane based system to a drone based miniature cavity enhanced spectrometer. mACES accurately detects NO2 levels in the air we breathe and will aid in reducing harmful pollution in the future.
