Visible and Thermal Infrared Radiometer (VTIR) for MOS-1
Abstract
The Visible and Thermal Infrared Radiometer (VTIR) for Marine Observation Satellite-1 (MOS-1) is a scanning radiometer that acquires image data in one visible band and three thermal infrared bands. The sensor uses a rotating mirror scanner, a Richey-Chretien type telescope, radiatively cooled mercury cadmium telluride infrared detectors, and a silicon pin diode. This paper discribes an outline of the VTIR and reports main data obtained by the Prototype Model.
