PRISM is a compact, lightweight, airborne Portable Remote Imaging SpectroMeter (PRISM) compatible with a wide range of piloted and Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms was developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. See the PRISM website. THIS IS NOT AN EOL INSTRUMENT.

MTP is a scanning radiometer that observes emitted radiance (brightness temperature) at 56.363 GHz, 57.612 GHz, 58.363 GHz. It collects measurements at 10 viewing angles between +/- 80 degrees from horizontal. It is housed in a PMS canister with a modified fairing which has a transparent window built into the front. The block diagram below shows the wing-mounted and cabin components of the system (JPL proprietary design).
