Table 6.
Duration, energy, and data volume for several typical observations
| Activity | Duration (MM:SS) | Energy (W⋅hr) | Data Vol. (Mb) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Power on & thermal accommodation | 15:00 | 11.8 | 0.03 | BU TEC on 12 min alone; then also IRS TEC cools, YAG & CWL warms 3 min |
| 5 × 1 LIBS, RMI raster | 13:23 | 12.4 | 107.7 | 2 RMI w/ ICER comp., 2 AF |
| 5 × 1 LIBS, Raman, TRL, IR, RMI | 31:44 | 31.2 | 228.8 | 2 RMI, no comp., 2 AF |
| 48 × 1 IR, RMI raster | 15:51 | 14.7 | 135.8 | 2 RMI, no comp., 4 AF (BU TEC cooling not needed) |
| 3 × 1 Microphone | 04:19 | 3.8 | 36.0 | @ 25 kHz, thermal on; (BU TEC cooling not needed) |
| Power off & thermal | 02:05 | 1.8 | 0.01 | Includes sun safing |
YAG = Nd:YAG laser; comp = data compression; AF = autofocus
