SPHINX instrument assembly. Technician assembling and adjusting the sensor of the SPHINX instrument from the MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) device of the ESA's (European Space Agency) Envisat environmental satellite. MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) is a Fourier transforming infrared spectrometer that provides pressure and temperature profiles, and profiles of trace gases nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide, methane, nitric acid, ozone, and water in the stratosphere. Photographed in the Netherlands.
