Abstract

New IR detectors with twin elements were developed for precision earth sensors of satellites. Two sorts of pyroelectric elements, ceramics and sputtered films, were studied. Each element is mounted on an immersion lens. Minimum random error of attitude measurement is much smaller ( 0.012°) than that ( 0.06°) of our preceding type.
