<abstract>
<p>A novel polarimetric imaging technique making use of rapid retardance modulation has been developed by JPL as a part of NASA&apos;s
Instrument Incubator Program. It has been built into the Airborne Multiangle SpectroPolarimetric Imager (AirMSPI) under NASA&apos;s
Airborne Instrument Technology Transition Program, and is aimed primarily at remote sensing of the amounts and microphysical
properties of aerosols and clouds. AirMSPI includes an 8-band (355, 380, 445, 470, 555, 660, 865, 935 nm) pushbroom camera that
measures polarization in a subset of the bands (470, 660, and 865 nm). The camera is mounted on a gimbal and acquires imagery in a
configurable set of along-track viewing angles ranging between +67&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt;and –67&lt;sup&gt;°&lt;/sup&gt; relative to nadir. As a result, near simultaneous
multi-angle, multi-spectral, and polarimetric measurements of the targeted areas at a spatial resolution ranging from 7 m to 20 m
(depending on the viewing angle) can be derived. An automated data production system is being built to support high data
acquisition rate in concert with co-registration and orthorectified mapping requirements. To date, a number of successful engineering
checkout flights were conducted in October 2010, August-September 2011, and January 2012. Data products resulting from these
flights will be presented.</p>
