Both six-wheeled 18-kg (40-pound) rovers were equipped with cameras and a suite of instruments that included a microscopic imager, a rock-grinding tool, and infrared, gamma-ray, and alpha-particle spectrometers that analyzed the rocks, soil, and dust around their landing sites.
The six-wheeled rovers, each equipped with cameras and a suite of instruments that included a microscopic imager and a rock-grinding tool, analyzed the rocks, soil, and dust around their landing sites, which had been chosen because they appeared to have been affected by water in Mars's past.
The Sun Earth Connection Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) on the NASA Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) mission is a suite of remote sensing instruments consisting of an extreme ultraviolet imager, two white light coronagraphs, and a heliospheric imager.
This month, Apple will begin selling the FLIR ONE, a slickly iPhone-integrated thermal imager from FLIR, the biggest firm in the infrared-imaging market, along with a suite of apps to make use of it.But are these merely expensive toys destined to be used a few times, or could they spread as digital photography has?
The suite of available detectors for Gen-X should include a large-area high resolution imager, a cryogenic imaging spectrometer, and a grating spectrometer.
The suite of microphysical instrumentation onboard the aircraft included the PMS 2D-C probe and the Stratton Park Engineering Company (SPEC) cloud particle imager (CPI).
The SECCHI suite of instruments includes two white light coronagraphs covering the range from 1.4 to 15 solar radii, an extreme ultra violet imager covering the chromosphere and inner corona, and two heliospheric white light imagers covering the outer corona from 12 solar radii to 1 AU.
Its suite of engaging multiplayer options?
Operated by the University of Alaska at Fairbanks, PFRR hosts a suite of geospace sounding and sensing instruments including the Poker Flat Incoherent Scatter Radar (PFISR) [ Semeter et al., 2009], optical all-sky imagers (ASI) [ Hampton et al., 2013], scanning Doppler imagers [ Conde and Smith, 1997; Anderson et al., 2013], and a launch site for rocket sounding [ Zettergren et al., 2014].
Another exciting application of optical technology is the combination of optical imagers with other imaging modalities.
