Abstract

This paper presents details of the optical and mechanical layout of a cryogenically cooled IR-sensor named CRISTA (CRyogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere). The instrument is designed to analyze dynamical processes in the middle atmosphere. For this purpose, it measures IR emissions of several trace gases at the limb using three independent telescopes with high off axis rejection performance. CRISTA, integrated in the free-flyer ASTRO-SPAS, will be launched in 1993 by the Space Shuttle for a 9 day mission.
