Abstract

The Carruthers Observatory Student Solar Monitor (COSSMo), is a low weight, size, and power instrument on the Carruthers Geocoronal Observatory that measures solar irradiance variability in the Lyman-alpha (122nm) and soft x-ray (0.1-7nm) wavelengths. The presentation will describe the ground-calibration and performance of the instrument. The data will support the Carruthers Geocoronal Observatory, which aims to image and observe the Earth’s exosphere in full; observing how incoming solar irradiance impacts and affects the exosphere allows for a better understanding of its dynamics. NASA’s Carruthers Geocoronal Observatory is scheduled to launch in 2025 and operate from L1.
