The Space Infrared (SIRE) sensor is being developed by the U.S. Air Force to create a comprehensive data base of long-wave infrared space target and background measurements. The data to be collected include: target signatures, star map, star density, zodiacal radiance, earth limb radiance, and in situ target measurements. The transition of SIRE from the P80-2 space vehicle to the Shuttle Orbiter has necessitated modifications in both design support and operation. These modifications are discussed in terms of mission performance capabilities and sensor requirements. Potential sources of SIRE contamination are identified along with corresponding control measures.
