Visible and infrared rotating scanning radiometer

...The main functions of the satellite observation sensor system are as follows. (1) Visible and infrared spin scan radiometer (VISSR) It is sensitive to visible light of 0.5 to 0.75 μm and infrared light of 10.5 to 12.5 μm, which is less absorbed by water vapor and is suitable for temperature observation, and its resolution is 1.25 km and 5 km, respectively, at the satellite's nadir, and decreases as it moves away from the nadir. Using the satellite's 100 rotations per minute (the satellite rotates like a top to keep its attitude constant), it scans the Earth from west to east with a scanning mirror from the North Pole. ...
