this handbook describes the theory and application of quantitative techniques for predicting rocket plume radiation. The work has primarily been in the area of the shortwave infrared (SWIR) because rocket exhaust gases are typically at temperatures on the order of 2000 to 2500 K, for which the Planck blackbody spectral distribution peaks in the SWIR. Another reason for this is that IR sensor technology is highly developed in the SWIR. In addition, the SWIR is dominated by vibration-rotation molecular emission bands of major species in the plumes.
