FLITECAM Instrument

Date: 
2/20/2014

FLITECAM, the First Light Infrared Test Experiment Camera, captures data at 12 frames per second in the 1-5 micron wavelength range and is also capable of spectroscopy from 1-5.5 microns. The instrument was developed by a team from the University of California, Los Angeles. This image shows the FLITECAM instrument co-mounted with the High Speed Imaging Photometer for Occultations (HIPO) to provide simultaneous optical and near-infrared imaging.
