Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) Instrument Thermal Subsystem Design and Lessons Learned [PDF]
The Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) is one of two instruments on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM), which is scheduled to launch in February of 2013. The TIRS instrument was officially added to the mission later in the flow, which led to a highly aggressive schedule that became one of the main drivers during instrument development.

Mechanical aspects of the Thermal InfraRed system (TIRS) on Landsat 8 [PDF]
The Thermal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS) instrument was launched into space on board Landsat 8 in February 2013. This instrument was added to Landsat 8 to measure water evaporation and transpiration as well as provide two thermal infrared bands to complement the optical suite. TIRS has a refractive telescope which focuses a light onto a focal plane cooled to

Lessons Learned during Instrument Testing for the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) [PDF]
The Themal InfraRed Sensor (TIRS) instrument, set to launch on the Landsat Data Continuity Mission in 2013, features a passively cooled telescope and IR detectors which are actively cooled by a two stage cryocooler. In order to proceed to the instrument level test campaign, at least one full functional test was required, necessitating a thermal vacuum ...

Geometric Correction for Thermographic Images of Asteroid 162173 Ryugu by TIR (Thermal Infrared Imager) onboard Hayabusa2 [PDF]
Abstract The thermal infrared imager (TIR) onboard the Hayabusa2 spacecraft performed thermographic observations of the asteroid 162173 Ryugu (1999 JU3) from June 2018 to November 2019. Our previous reports showed the surface temperature and thermal inertia maps of Ryugu. At that time, the mapping procedure from observed TIR images to the shape
