OBJECTIVES OF THE ATD BRANCH

Atmosphere Technology Division (ATD) focuses on the technological aspects of experimental systems designed for atmospheric, space and planetary science areas, including the development and testing of balloon-, rocket-, and space-borne payloads from the proof-of-concept and development of ground-based systems for in-situ probing and remote sensing of the atmosphere. ATD is also responsible for the augmentation and maintenance of the ongoing experimental systems, providing technical support to the scientific activities of SPL and maintenance of the common technical facilities. It works in close coordination with the scientific branches of SPL and provides technical expertise for realization of scientific ideas.
