Mighty MURI brings the heat to test new longwave infrared radiometer

PROJECT Multiband Uncooled Radiometer Instrument (MURI) SNAPSHOT NASA’s new Multiband Uncooled Radiometer Instrument (MURI) features a novel bolometer that detects infrared radiation without a cryogenic cooler, greatly reducing the cost and complexity of dispatching infrared radiometers into low-Earth orbit. First-light data from NASA’s new Multiband Uncooled Radiometer Instrument (MURI) shows its novel, uncooled microbolometer is operational, setting the stage for…
