The Fly’s Eye Geostationary Lightning Mapper Simulator (FEGS) includes 30 photometers — instruments that measure the intensity of light — set to several specific wavelengths of light, plus a wide-spectrum camera. Twenty-five of the sensor instruments are tuned to see light emitted by neutral oxygen when it is heated by lightning.
