Infrared Imaging by THEMIS

• The Thermal Emissing Imaging System (THEMIS) is a multispectral, thermal infrared imager that has 10 spectral bands between 6.5 and 14.5 micrometers.
• THEMIS will determine the mineralogy of the martian surface.

• The positions of the 10 infrared bands were selected in part based on the mineral results from the Mars Global Surveyor Thermal Emission Spectrometer (TES).
• The entire planet will be mapped in the infrared at 100 meters per pixel resolution.
• The infrared-wavelength imaging portion of THEMIS was fabricated at Hughes Santa Barbara Remote Sensing of Goleta, California.
