Thermal Infrared (TIR) imaging spectrometer acquiring data between 7.5 mm and 12.0 mm

• First NASA TIR instrument that provides high spatial and spectral resolution data with a wide image swath
• Data will be used to determine the optimum band positions for the spaceborne Hyperspectral Infrared Imager (HyspIRI) as well as provide antecedent data for science studies
• First science data collected in corridor between Grand Junction, CO and Burbank, CA. Sites included geological and ecological targets as well as areas of gas emissions.
• Funded and managed by NASA Earth Science
• PI: Simon J. Hook (JPL)
