Infrared Point Spectrometer

The Infrared Point Spectrometer (IPS) is a sensor aligned with the Navcam to measure the intensity of radiation from wavelengths of 1.3 through 2.5 micrometers, in the infrared range of the spectrum, at a single point. The IPS also can be commanded to acquire data in a raster mode, thereby producing image cubes (two spatial dimensions and a spectral dimension).
