| Abstract: | Microbolometers are infrared detectors of an emerging technology mainly developed in US and few other countries for few years. The main targets of these developments are low performing military and civilian applications like survey cameras.Applications in space are now arising thanks to the design simplification and the associated cost reduction allowed by this new technology.The paper describes two applications in development in SODERN: - 1. an infrared camera for the Infrared Atmospheric Sounding Interferometer (IASI): this camera integrated in IASI is used to take pictures of the main instrument field of view and to correlate them with other instrument measurements;
- 2. an infrared radiometer for PICASSO-CENA based on the same camera design.
In both cases, the use of microbolometer detectors leads to very competitive designs in terms of volume, mass, power consumption and cost. |
