LESIA IR testing

LESIA IR testing
LESIA IR testing Engineers at LESIA near Paris prepare for infrared testing of the SuperCam Mast Unit, seen from the back side. The unit’s telescope is in the square box at the left; it is being lined up with optical calibration equipment. The IR spectrometer hangs below the rest of the unit. Mirrors direct light from the telescope into the IR spectrometer. The laser, used for LIBS and Raman spectroscopy, is the cylinder at right. LESIA / Observatoire de Paris
