Abstract
To develop a small and highly sensitive optical spectrometer for providing repeatable qualitative and quantitative analysis of contaminant gases in enclosed habitable atmospheres, a feasibility study and measurements program was conducted. An infrared interferometer spectrometer was employed in conjunction with a gas absorption cell for trace gas analysis. During the program, spectra were taken of 43 compounds, 10 binary, 10 trinary, 5 five-order, and 1 fifteen-order mixture. Typical minimum detectable concentrations range from 1 to 40 mg/1. The results of this program have defined a system that will satisfy the criteria for a prototype flight instrument.
