Scientific paper

In the last 20 years German space industry and research institutes have been involved with the development of IR sensors for application in space in the fields of remote sensing and astronomy. Following successful sounding rocket experiments, the first cryogenically-cooled space IR sensor has been successfully flown as part of the SDIO STS 39 mission in April 1991, acquiring valuable data on IR signatures in space. Other instruments operating in the IR currently under development are the ISOPHOT instrument of the European Space Observatory (ISO), the MIPAS (Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding) and the SCIAMACHY. The paper will provide an overview of German IR space sensors, their design and performance characteristics.
