The Infrared Astronomical Satellite ( IRAS ) failed to discover Nemesis in the 1980s.

Though these proposals lost out to the Infrared Astronomical Satellite ( IRAS ), their strength made NASA further explore the idea.

* Infrared Astronomical Satellite ( IRAS ).

Simon F. Green and John K. Davies discovered it in images from October 11, 1983 while searching Infrared Astronomical Satellite ( IRAS ) data for moving objects.

It is one of the three asteroids discovered with data from Infrared Astronomical Satellite in 1983, and was named in honour of the satellite.

The launch of the Infrared Astronomical Satellite, an Explorer-class satellite designed to conduct the first infrared survey of the sky led to anticipation of an instrument using new infrared detector technology.

Using this data and later observations with the Spitzer Space Telescope, Infrared Space Observatory and the Atacama Pathfinder Experiment implies that the disk is located at 25 Astronomical units and has a thin ( 0. 02 AU ), ring-like structure, with the sharp cutoff in the disk suggesting a planet.

** Infrared Astronomical Satellite did an all sky survey at 12, 25, 60, and 100 μm, 1983

* The Indian Department of Space used this telescope for the Near Infrared Survey of the Nuclear Regions of the Milky Way in order to improve on data from the DENIS and 2MASS Astronomical surveys.

Satellite measurements made in 1999 with the Wide Field Infrared Explorer showed that the brightness of Altair fluctuates slightly, varying by less than a thousandth of a magnitude.

* CALIPSO, NASA's " Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observations " satellite

One of the early results from the Infrared Astronomy Satellite ( IRAS ) was the discovery of excess infrared flux coming from Vega, beyond what would be expected from the star alone.

The organisation is mission center for several key current missions ( Kepler Mission, the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite ( LCROSS ) mission, Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA )) and a major contributor to the '" new exploration focus '" as a participant in the Orion crew exploration vehicle and Ares I crew launch vehicle projects.

Also considered a primary payload was the Cryogenic Infrared Spectrometers and Telescopes for the Atmosphere-Shuttle Pallet Satellite ( CRISTA-SPAS ), continuing joint NASA-German Space Agency ( DARA, now the DLR ) series of scientific missions.

By August 31, images from the eighth Television Infrared Observation Satellite ( TIROS VIII ) depicted a developing storm with a central dense overcast, banding features and cirrus outflow.

TIROS, or Television Infrared Observation Satellite, is a series of early weather satellites launched by NASA, beginning with TIROS-1 in 1960.

A weak circulation was noted by Television Infrared Observation Satellite ( TIROS ) near Cape Verde on August 16.

Moving off Africa, Television Infrared Observation Satellite XI ( TIROS XI ) had indicated that the system became a poorly defined tropical depression and was associated with a circular mass of convection.

** NOAA's TIROS, or Television Infrared Observation Satellite

While most of the TerraServer imagery is focused on high resolution, color, satellite and aerial imagery, TerraServer. com also offers Color Infrared Imagery, Panchromatic Imagery, Low Resolution Satellite Imagery, and Topographic Maps.

* Infrared rays are discovered by William Herschel, an English astronomer of German origin.

An infrared excess was discovered around the star by the Infrared Space Observatory at 60 μm, but was not later confirmed by the Spitzer Space Telescope, in 2006.

A search for an excess amount of infrared emission from this star by the Infrared Space Observatory came up

Infrared observations of this star showed an excess level of radiation equal to about 0. 5 magnitudes.

Infrared spectroscopy ( IR spectroscopy ) is the spectroscopy that deals with the infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum, that is light with a longer wavelength and lower frequency than visible light.

Infrared sensing in snakes depends on a kind of natural thermal imaging, in which tiny packets of cellular water are raised in temperature by the infrared radiation.

Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ) uses infrared light, which has a frequency below the human eye's sensitivity.

Infrared controllers project a grid of infrared beams inserted into the frame surrounding the monitor screen itself, and detect where an object intercepts the beams.

* Infrared coagulator-an intense source of infrared light in a small beam like a laser.

The near infrared ( NIR ) window lies just out of the human vision, as well as the Medium Wavelength IR ( MWIR ) window and the Long Wavelength or Far Infrared ( LWIR or FIR ) window though other animals may experience them.

Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy ( SOFIA ) is a joint venture of the U. S. and German aerospace agencies, NASA and the DLR to make an infrared telescope platform that can fly at altitudes high enough to be in the infrared-transparent regime above the water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere.

Infrared astronomy is the branch of astronomy and astrophysics that studies astronomical objects visible in infrared ( IR ) radiation.

Infrared astronomy began in the 1830s, a few decades after the discovery of infrared light by William Herschel in 1800.

Infrared and optical astronomy are often practiced using the same telescopes, as the same mirrors or lenses are usually effective over a wavelength range that includes both visible and infrared light.

Infrared light is absorbed at many wavelengths by water vapor in the Earth's atmosphere, so most infrared telescopes are at high elevations in dry places, above as much of the atmosphere as possible.

Infrared telescopes, which includes most major optical telescopes as well as a few dedicated infrared telescopes, need to be chilled with liquid nitrogen and shielded from warm objects.

The Kuiper Airborne Observatory and the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy use airplanes to observe in the infrared, which is absorbed by water vapor in the atmosphere.

Moreover, most organic compounds absorb and emit light in the infrared ( IR ) so, for example, the recent detection of methane in the atmosphere of Mars was achieved using an IR ground-based telescope, NASA's 3-meter Infrared Telescope Facility atop Mauna Kea, Hawaii.

The optional IrCOMM ( Infrared Communications Protocol ) lets the infrared device act like either a serial or parallel port.

The optional IrLAN ( Infrared Local Area Network ) provides the possibility to connect an infrared device to a local area network.

Using newer and more powerful infrared telescope technology, able to detect brown dwarfs as cool as 150 kelvins out to a distance of 10 light-years from the Sun, preliminary results from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer ( WISE survey ) have not, to date, detected Nemesis, although the analysis of the full survey is not yet complete.

Infrared light, rather than visible light is used more commonly, because optical fibers transmit infrared wavelengths with less attenuation and dispersion.

; Infrared Camera and Spectrograph ( IRCS ): Used in conjunction with the new 188-element adaptive optics unit ( AO188 ), mounted at the infrared Nasmyth focus.

Efke's Infrared Film, sold under the brand name Efke IR820 is currently the only infrared film manufactured that has good IR sensitivity beyond 750nm extending out to 820nm.

* infrared ( IR ) short-range communication, for example from consumer IR devices such as remote controls or via Infrared Data Association ( IrDA ).

Here is the UKIRT ( then called Infrared Flux Collector ) compared to the other largest optical telescopes circa 1978, only a some of these could also see in the near infrared.

* Infrared Data Association, in information and communications technology, a standard for communication between devices ( such as computers, PDAs and mobile phones ) over short distances using infrared signals
