The Ball Experimental Sea Surface Temperature Radiometer (BESST) is an airborne pushbroom imaging radiometer developed by Ball Aerospace. It is a thermal infrared (8-12 μm) radiometer that measures sea surface temperature. BESST has a spatial resolution of 1 meter and a swath width of 200 meters at a flight altitude of 600 meters. It collects a total of 130 frames during a data frame, which takes about 53 seconds to complete. BESST was designed to be deployed on uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and small aircraft.
