Upcoming Instrument(s)
STELLA-1.2 ***COMING SOON***
The STELLA-1.2 represents the latest evolution in NASA's Science and Technology Education for Land/Light Assessment instrument suite, designed for scientific engagement, inquiry, and discovery. Built to support a wide range of customizable sensor packages, the STELLA-1.2 enhances data collection with integrated GPS location services and wifi capability.
STELLA-1.2 Remote Sensing Module
The STELLA-RS (Remote Sensing) Module features an 18-band spectral sensor array capturing wavelengths from 410nm to 940nm, complemented by a broad-band thermal sensor and a 4-meter LiDAR for accurate distance measurements. The thoughtfully designed 3D-printed housing includes a specialized compartment for cuvette placement, enabling liquid spectroscopy applications. This versatile module expands STELLA-1.2's capabilities, making it an ideal tool for environmental monitoring, plant health assessment, and educational demonstrations across various scientific disciplines.
STELLA-1.2 Air Analyzer Module
The STELLA-AA (Air Analyzer) Module transforms your STELLA-1.2 into an atmospheric monitoring station. This sophisticated module features a particulate sensor measuring concentrations from PM2.5 to PM10, complemented by a true CO2 sensor and dedicated methane detector. The integrated environmental suite adds altitude measurement, barometric pressure monitoring, relative humidity sensing, and air temperature recording. When connected to a STELLA-1.2, the system automatically calculates dew point and particulate ratios, providing valuable insights for environmental assessment, air quality monitoring, and scientific research. This addition to the STELLA ecosystem delivers atmospheric data in an accessible, user-friendly package.
STELLA-1.2 Prototyping Module
The STELLA Prototyping Module provides connections needed to power a wide range of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) sensors, making it a foundation for developing your custom scientific instrument. Designed with innovation in mind, this versatile module features an open-top and open-bottom housing specifically engineered to accommodate various sensor attachments using simple tape or Velcro mounting. The module will soon be complemented by a curated selection of supported off-the-shelf sensors, expanding its capabilities even further. The STELLA Prototyping Module offers the flexibility and accessibility to bring your measurement ideas to life within the STELLA ecosystem.
