One way to better understand the science and technology behind Landsat’s spectral measurements is to build a spectrometer. This past summer, two local high school students did just that.

In addition to making the build instructions freely available, 40 instruments were built by NASA interns and sent across the U.S. in a loaner program, including to UAF.
