    MIRO

    MIRO

    MIRO (Microwave Instrument for the Rosetta Orbiter) is used to determine the abundances of major gases, the surface outgassing rate and the nucleus subsurface temperature. It will also measure the subsurface temperatures of Siwa and Otawara, and search for gas around them.

    Principal Investigator: S. Gulkis, NASA-JPL, Pasadena, CA., United States.
