X-Sar, a Spacebourne SAR Instrument
Reference No: |
GIS 41-2 |
A detailed overview of the X-SAR cooperative space project between Germany and Italy for Earth Observation from Space. X-SAR will fly together with SIR-C developed by NASA/JPL on Space Shuttle missions as an integrated system and X-SAR will be the first multifrequency, multipolarization, multiple-incidence Synthetic Aperture Radar System to be flown in space.

Calibration Results for the Field Portable Thermal Infrared Spectrometer (THIRSPEC)
Reference No: |
GIS 41-5 |
The portable infrared spectrometer has been developed to perform measurements of rock samples. Key points of the presentation include: design and field use of the instrument for geology studies; specs and features, which include a built-in calibration mode that does not require liquid nitrogen; a unique correction technique; and retrieval of emissivity results.
