Definition
- The Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner (TIMS) sensor is a line scanning device originally designed for geologic applications. Flown aboard NASA C-130B, NASA ER-2, and NASA Learjet aircraft, the TIMS sensor has a nominal Instantaneous Field of View of 2.5 milliradians with a ground resolution of 25 feet (7.6 meters) at 10,000 feet. The sensor has a selectable scan rate (7.3, 8.7, 12, or 25 scans per second) with 698 pixels per scan line. Swath width is 2.6 nautical miles (4.8 kilometers) at 10,000 feet while the scanner's Field of View is 76.56 degrees [Source: NASA] (en)
