About this award

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The U.S. government, through the Shared Services Center (SSC) agency, awarded a $3,205,545.25 grant to BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc. to develop the Compact Infrared Radiometer in Space (CIRIS), an uncooled imaging infrared radiometer designed for high radiometric performance on a CubeSat spacecraft. The CIRIS mission will enable constellations of simple, inexpensive CubeSats to replace larger, more complex instruments for scientific research and land use management applications. The grant does not have a set-aside designation. As a subsidiary of Ball Corporation, BAE Systems Space & Mission Systems Inc. is a major aerospace and defense contractor that provides a wide range of products and services to the U.S. federal government, including advanced space systems and instrumentation for NASA and NOAA missions.

Description

As the agency reported it.

The compact infrared radiometer in space (ciris) is an uncooled imaging infrared (7.5 UM to 13 UM) radiometer designed for high radiometric performance from LEO on a cubesat spacecraft. The ciris design is based on a ball aircraft-mounted instrument with modifications to improve radiometric uncertainty in the space environment. A high-emissivity blackbody source coated with carbon nanotubes reduces error in on-board calibration. Algorithms compensate the detector signal for changing external temperatures addressing another source of uncertainty. The ciris mission will enable constellations of simple, inexpensive cubesats to replace larger more complex instruments for multiple applications in scientific research and land use management.
