What Does PFS Stand For?
PFS stands for Planetary Fourier Spectrometry
Planetary Fourier Spectrometry (PFS) is an advanced analytical technique used for the remote sensing and characterization of planetary atmospheres and surfaces. By employing Fourier transform methods to analyze infrared spectra, PFS enables the identification of molecular compositions, temperature profiles, and various physical properties of celestial bodies. This technology plays a crucial role in planetary exploration, offering insights into the chemical makeup and potential habitability of planets and moons in our solar system and beyond.
