Precise Spectral and Radiometric Calibration for Earth and Planetary Science Instruments

Goddard Laser for Absolute Measurement of Radiance (GLAMR) is a unique spectral and radiometric calibration facility at GSFC for calibration of hyperspectral instruments in Earth Science and Planetary Science. Traceability to fundamental SI units is maintained with collaboration with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).   

The Goddard Laser for Absolute Measurement of Radiance (GLAMR) Facility is a collaboration between the GSFC Earth Science Division and ETD’s Instrument Systems and Technology Division (ISTD). Contact ISTD for more information.
