The Thermal Infrared Multispectral Scanner (TIMS) is an airborne thermal infrared spectrometer used for geologic mapping. It collects multispectral thermal imagery across six channels in the 8.2-12.2 μm wavelength range. TIMS has a horizontal spatial resolution at nadir of 3 to 20 m at an altitude of 1,200 to 8,000 m. It operates at four discrete scan rates: 7.3, 8.7, 12, and 25 scans per second.
