Abstract
This thesis documents the full life cycle of the HEMI pathfinder mission. Chapter 2 discusses the implementation of each subsystem, with each section describing the driving requirements for the subsystem. Chapter 3 discusses the testing and calibration of the instrument components and the integrated instrument. The data discussed in Chapter 3 provides the foundation for the post-flight analysis presented in Chapter 4 which also includes post-flight testing and calibration. Chapter 5 presents the conclusions of this effort, lists key lessons learned during the course of the project, and outlines the continuing work that will feed forward to the development of the next iteration of the HEMI.
