Thermal imagers can provide temperature measurement over a large area with high resolution, but they require further development to deliver lower uncertainty in their measurements across all important components. One of the ways the space industry plans to improve thermal imaging performance and ease of use is it to have the device operate in thermal vacuum.
A GSTP activity, under the de-risk framework, aimed to modify an off- the-shelf thermal imager, that was low in size, weight and cost, and could function in thermal vacuum to be used for metrology measurements onboard spacecraft.
