SORCE Solstice Mechanical Slide show (Flash 1.3Mb) SOLSTICE (Solar Stellar Irradiance Comparison Experiment) was first built for the UARS mission in 1990. The instrument worked so well that LASP's engineers built a similar one for the SORCE mission in 2002. This is a slide show of the SORCE SOLSTICE instrument's main mechanical features.
	SORCE XPS Mechanical Slide show (Flash 344Kb) The SORCE XPS (XUV Photometer System), which evolved from earlier versions flown on the SNOE and TIMED satellites, will continue on these solar XUV irradiance measurements with improvements to accuracy, spectral image, and temporal change. This is a slide show of the SORCE XPS instrument's main mechanical features.
	SIM Mechanical Animation (Flash 340Kb) The Spectral Irradiance Monitor (SIM) was a newly designed spectrometer in 2002 for the SORCE mission that has been providing the first long-duration solar spectral irradiance measurements in the visible and near infrared (Vis/NIR).
