![]() Leiden Measurement Technology is partnering with Stone Aerospace on its new ARCHIMEDES (A Really Cool High Impact Method for Exploring Down into Europan Subsurface) project, an entirely novel ice-penetrating technology that uses laser light carried by an optical fiber tether. Sponsored by NASA and led by Stone Aerospace, the ARCHIMEDES project aims to provide sub-surface access for a Europa lander and to co-transport fiber instruments for the detection of biomarkers in the ice. ![]() Following a successful Phase I contract, LMT is proud to announce that it has been awarded a 2017 NASA SBIR Phase II contract for its work on the Fluorescence Lifetime Excitation Emission Spectrometer (FLEXEMS) instrument, a novel device for detecting and identifying trace organics in-situ. |
