Scientific paper

A suite of state-of-the-art sensors, including a cryogenic infrared scanning radiometer and Fourier transform spectrometer, several visible and ultraviolet imagers and spectrographic imagers, and a set of contamination monitoring instruments, has been integrated with a highly capable spacecraft for a planned launch into a polar orbit. The optical sensors cover the spectrum from the far ultraviolet (110 nm) through the very-long-wave infrared (28 μm). The Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) satellite, funded and managed by the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization, is a long-duration, "observatory"-style measurement platform that will collect several terabytes of high-quality data on terrestrial, Earth-limb, and celestial backgrounds.
