Michigan Aerospace Corporation Part of Team Selected by NASA as Candidate Small Explorer Mission
Michigan Aerospace Corporation (MAC), today announced that it is collaborating with the University of Illinois on
part of the Neutral Ion Coupling Explorer (NICE) satellite mission recently selected by NASA as a candidate Small Explorer mission. The NICE mission,
led by the University of California-Berkeley, will contain five instruments for exploring Earth’s upper atmosphere, remotely measuring the neutral wind,
temperature, composition, atmospheric and ionospheric density distributions as well as conducting in-situ measurements of ion motion.

MAC is the premier company in the United States for the development of Light Detection and Ranging
(LIDAR) and related optical systems for atmospheric measurement and holds patents that increase the performance and efficiency of these
instruments to unprecedented levels. These capabilities have resulted in hardened systems with the size, weight, and power
characteristics that enable operation on demanding aircraft, spacecraft and ground platforms.
The company is organized along core business areas that are managed as Business Units. These
include Atmospheric LIDAR Systems to measure atmospheric parameters and constituents from the ground, aircraft, and space, enhancing
the accuracy of weather forecasts,
aiding weather-dependent military operations, increasing the efficiency of wind energy turbines, improving the site selection process for future wind energy farms and improving the performance of aircraft (military and civilian) and weapon systems. Optical Diagnostics for both remote sensing and in-situ applications, including
Chemical/Biological/ Radiological/Nuclear (CBRN) and Improvised Explosive Device (IED) detection, aerodynamic testing, micro-fluidics,
and measurement of spectral signatures and cross-sections of biological simulants and agents; Data Exploitation to solve complex
problems in data mining, 2-D and 3-D image processing, pattern recognition, and machine learning; and Mechanical Systems for autonomous
vehicles operating in space, terrestrial, and marine environments. Several new initiatives are being investigated, including automated air and water monitoring for pollution and Homeland
Security applications, and biomedical sensors for early-stage disease detection. The company also provides flight qualification services and rapid prototyping in its Engineering
Services division.
On the products side, we have just increased our manufacturing capability to meet the demands for our wind LIDAR and other optical products.
We invite you to explore our website and to call on us for your advanced development and product needs.
