Seawater Particle Analyzer

Our oceans are under threat and to understand their health we need data from around the world. 

As a NASA (SBIR) project, Horizon was designed to study microscopic particles at a speed never before possible. Connected to a vessel's plumbing, the laser scattering system can detect particles in the water as ships travel the seas. 

Such data can now provide a macro picture of a micro world. Design considerations were made to support durability, portability, drainage, security, access for maintenance, harsh working environments, low-volume production, and more.
