Superconducting sub-millimeter wave limb emission sounder SMILES

SMILES is a heterodyne sub-millimeter receiver which will be installed on the ELM-ES platform of the Japanese Experimental Module on the International Space Station in 2003. For the scientific side, the advantage of SIS technology is the up to five times lower system noise temperature of the receiver compared with conventional ones and therefore provides a much better resolution, both in time and space.Upprättat; 1999; 20070514 (pafi)</p
