Definition
- The The Thematic Mapper Simulator (TMS) sensor is a line scanning device designed for a variety of Earth science applications. Flown aboard NASA ER-2 aircraft, the TMS sensor has a nominal Instantaneous Field of View of 1.25 milliradians with a ground resolution of 81 feet (25 meters) at 65,000 feet. The TMS sensor scans at a rate of 12.5 scans per second with 716 pixels per scan line. Swath width is 8.3 nautical miles (15.4 kilometers) at 65,000 feet while the scanner's Field of View is 42.5 degrees. [Source: NASA] (en)
