Scientific paper

The Infrared Imaging Experiment (IRIE) flown on Shuttle Mission 6 lC is reported. The infrared camera, which was operated in the 3.5- to 5-micron spectral band, replaced one of the visible CCTV cameras on the Shuttle. The camera employed a 160 x 244-element monolithic platinum-silicide area focal-plane array; array characteristics, camera electronics, optics, and focal plane cooling are summarized. The preplanned scenes for the IRIE are listed. A total of about 2.5 hours of data, including some preplanned scenes and unscheduled operation, were recorded. Several of the recorded scenes are mentioned specifically.
