Scientific paper

In August 1997 an infrared spectral imaging radiometer (ISIR) based on uncooled microbolometer array technology was flown on space shuttle mission STS-85. In this paper the design of the instrument and experimental goals are presented, and initial results from the flight mission are described. The ISIR instrument provided 1/4 km resolution imagery at four wavelengths that were selected for cloud remote sensing. A major goal of the work is development of compact and less costly cloud imagers for small satellite missions. A large data set of earth imagery and test operations was obtained from the mission. In most regards the ISIR functioned within its design parameters.
