This is a Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to Sequoia Scientific, Inc., a for-profit corporation based in Bellevue, Washington. The contract is for the development of an active sensor to measure the hyperspectral backscattering coefficient in natural waters, which is critical for refining and calibrating ocean color algorithms and developing next-generation ocean color products. The contract has a firm-fixed-price of $120,501.00 and a period of performance ending on December 9, 2016. The goal of this research is to simulate various instrument configurations and assess the technical and commercial feasibility of a hyperspectral backscattering instrument, which would address a critical gap in the field of in-situ measurement of inherent optical properties to support hyperspectral ocean color missions.
