Instrument

The Pandora 2S (developed by SciGlob Instruments & Services, USA), is equipped with a microprocessor-controlled azimuth elevation tracker, allowing it to point to any location in the sky. This system is supported by complementary control software, which enables automated measurements, remote monitoring, and seamless data transfers via the Internet, significantly boosting its operational efficiency. Designed for versatility and convenience, the Pandora 2S excels in collecting hyperspectral observations of trace gases including Ozone, Sulphur Dioxide, Nitrogen Dioxide, Formaldehyde, and water vapor within the spectral ranges of 270 to 530 nm and 400 to 900 nm. Data captured by the Pandora 2S is automatically uploaded and processed by the Pandonia Global Network (PGN), and the resulting data is made accessible on their website in four distinct levels of quality.
