Simple Fabry-Perot based Instrument for Surface Pressure Sensing from SpaceMitchel and O'Brien observed in 1989 that a passive satellite measurement using the oxygen A band could exhibit a precision of better than 1% when used to make a surface pressure measurement. I will present a design and performance simulation for a Fabry-Perot interferometer based instrument which should exceed this level of performance. The design is small, inexpensive, and rugged. Preliminary results from a laboratory prototype of the instrument will be presented.
