General Description:
Model 13000 Broadband Radiometer Sensor/Telescope
The Model 13000 IR Sensor/Telescope Assembly
is designed for use as the primary sensing element
in an Earth Resource Monitoring System such as
the Clouds and Earth Radiant Energy System
which will be flown aboard NASA's Earth
Observing System spacecraft of the AM and PM
series as well as the Tropical Rainfall
Measurement Mission (TRMM-1). The telescope
is capable of broad spectral sensitivity and has a
very large radiance dynamic range.
Specifications

The unit consists of three major subassemblies (1) Cassegrain telescope (2) Baffle for stray
light and (3) detector assembly consisting of an active and compensating element.
Radiation enters the unit through the baffle, passes through the telescope and is imaged
onto the IR detector.
Optional filters can be supplied to provide specific wavelength selectivity up to 150
microns.
