for on-line absorption measurements of H2CO, CH4, and H2O near 3.5 μm is reported. Formaldehyde levels of 30 ppb, corresponding to absorptions of 2×10-4 have been measured using absorption spectroscopy. In this paper we report specifically the performance of this sensor as part of the 1997 Lunar–Mars Life Support Test program at the NASA Johnson Space Center.
