During the period of this study, the Surrey Space Centre, University of Surrey has conducted a theoretical and laboratory experiment investigation into low-cost thermal infrared imager concepts suitable for flight on very small satellite platforms. The investigation and resulting design concept(s) has emphasized the use of low-cost commercially available components while, at the same time, maximizing performance. The foundation of this research has been based on a commercially available uncooled resistive microbolometer detector array.
