This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Makel Engineering, Inc., a small business, for the development of a low-cost, unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-based microsensor array payload for monitoring volcanic processes. The $124,926 fixed-price contract will fund the development of a lightweight (under 200 grams) microsensor array package that can be integrated with a small UAV or deployed as a dropsonde to measure high-temperature gases such as OCS, HF, HCl, NOx, CO, SOx, CH4, H2O, O2, and CO2 near lava flows and volcanic plumes. The microsensor technology has been previously developed by Makel Engineering for Venus atmospheric measurement and will be adapted for this Earth science application. This innovative use of low-cost, expendable microsensors aims to provide measurements that are not feasible with more expensive and sophisticated instruments.
