Abstract:
High-resolution spectroscopy is essential for resolving fine spectral features that reveal important physical processes in planetary, astrophysical, and heliophysical environments. However, traditional high-resolution instruments are large, complex, and incompatible with compact distributed space platforms. This talk presents the development of Spatial Heterodyne Spectroscopy (SHS) systems optimized for the FUV/EUV regime (10–200 nm) offering resolving powers of R = 20,000–100,000 in a compact form factor. We highlight critical advancements in instrument design, including thermal, optomechanical, and detector integration, as well as a validated system-level performance model. These innovations establish SHS as a scalable, high-fidelity spectroscopic solution for the next generation of space science missions.
