The Thematic Mapper Simulator (TMS) is an airborne imaging spectrometer developed to simulate the Landsat Thematic Mapper instrument. It collects radiance measurements and imagery for the mapping of vegetation and land cover. TMS operates across ten spectral channels in the visible and near-infrared (0.42-2.35 μm) and two spectral channels in the thermal infrared (8.5-14 μm). It has a horizontal spatial resolution of 25 m and a swath width of 15.6 km at a flight altitude of 19.8 km. TMS has a scan rate of 12.5 scans per second and a total field of view of 42.5 degrees.
