Enhanced capability to collect vital hypersonic flight data is required to better understand the physics of the flow around spacecraft entering Earth’s atmosphere. Using novel, bio-inspired cameras will allow spectral measurements to be performed equally well during the day and night without modifications to instrumentation, overcoming the current major limitation of daytime tests. Combining these cameras with high resolution spectroscopy enables more reliable collection of critical data, such as temperature and species composition from the flow around spacecraft on re-entry. Measurements were performed using a novel neuromorphic spectroscopy system and a range of light sources. Acquired data show that both broadband and line spectra were obtained. The present work demonstrates that spectroscopy system based on neuromorphic technology is capable of successfully recording emission spectra. These results present a landmark first step in developing advanced spectroscopy diagnostics for hypersonic flight observation, such as observations of Earth re-entry missions.
