## Description

We are looking for a lightweight \(<10 kg\) including any additional items, gas analyser to make high-precision measurements of ethane and methane mole fractions in atmospheric air from a drone\. To meet our needs, you must be able to demonstrate and consider the following;  • Proposed analyser can make sub-hertz, high-precision measurements of ethane and methane mole fractions, as specified in the tender\. • The analyser is suitable to make accurate measurements on a drone, to a height of approximately 200m above ground level, without jeopardising the instrument's performance\. • The analyser can be integrated with a commercially available drone and that support will be given to facilitate this\. • That the achievable precision of the analyser does not require any pre-treatment of the air being sampled \(e\.g\., drying\)\. • That the analyser is stable enough to be operated for a period of one hour without the need for in-flight calibration\.
