MICROWAVE KINETIC INDUCTANCE DETECTORS ARE HIGHLIGHTED IN NASA S 2015-2045 ROADMAP AS A GAME-CHANGING TECHNOLOGY FOR IMPROVING REMOTE SENSING INSTRUMENT AND SENSOR CAPABILITIES (TABS 8.1.13). MKIDS ARE POISED TO OVERTAKE THE MORE ESTABLISHED CCD DETECTOR TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE THEY ARE EASY TO MULTIPLEX INTO LARGE ARRAYS CAN DELIVER A TIME RESOLUTION OF 2 MICROSECONDS AND ARE CAPABLE OF SINGLE PHOTON COUNTING WITHOUT READ NOISE OR DARK COUNTS WITH ENERGY RESOLUTION ACROSS THE ULTRAVIOLET VISIBLE AND INFRARED (UVOIR) SPECTRUM. CURRENTLY MKID ARRAYS REQUIRE LARGE COMPLEX POWER-INTENSIVE READOUT ELECTRONICS WHICH PRESENT A MAJOR OBSTACLE TO MKID DEPLOYMENT IN SPACE. I PROPOSE TO DEVELOP A NEW MKID READOUT SYSTEM WHICH IS FASTER LIGHTER SMALLER AND OVER AN ORDER OF MAGNITUDE MORE POWER-EFFICIENT THAN THE CURRENT TECHNOLOGY. SPECIFICALLY I PLAN TO DECREASE THE READOUT SYSTEM WEIGHT BY 85% AND VOLUME BY 85% ALL WHILE USING 1/20TH THE POWER
