AtmoLITE is a highly miniaturized limb sounder utilizing a monolithic spatial heterodyne interferometer for day and nighttime atmospheric temperature sounding developed at Forschungszentrums Jülich, Germany. Atmospheric temperature profiles are obtained by limb-sounding O2 A-Band emissions at a wavelength of 762 nm from a low Earth orbit3. It is a complete remote sensing instrument with optics, detector, electronics, structure, and a radiator.
