DEVELOPMENT OF VENSPEC-H ELECTRONICS

The Czech academic contribution to the VenSpec-H project represents a critical integration of experimental, theoretical, and computational expertise aimed at ensuring the instrument's success in Venusian atmospheric exploration. A primary responsibility is the creation and preparation of comprehensive datasets tailored for testing and validating the instrument's electronic components. This includes curating high-resolution experimental spectra and generating simulated data to replicate the conditions VenSpec-H will encounter. The datasets are designed to test the electronics' capability to process data accurately across the specified spectral range and resolution, ensuring robust performance in mission-critical operations. Beyond their immediate utility for hardware testing, these datasets form a vital reference for interpreting Venusian atmospheric phenomena post-deployment. They address existing gaps in spectral databases, enhancing the mission's ability to analyze key gases and atmospheric interactions. By leveraging advanced laboratory capabilities, such as high-resolution Fourier transform spectrometers, and sophisticated modeling tools like ARGO and TauREx3, the Czech team ensures data quality and relevance. This multifaceted effort not only bolsters the instrument's calibration and validation processes but also establishes a foundational framework for the mission's scientific output, emphasizing the significance of academic input in the project's overall success
