Wizjer (ITSOK-1 complex onboard space station Mir)

PRIRODA, the last of the Mir modules launched on April 23, 1996, was designed for the Earth’s remote sensing. The experiments conducted by an international team supported a research program for the determination of atmosphere-ocean system characteristics and measurements of atmospheric optical characteristics. The vehicle also supported materials science, space technology, biotechnology and life sciences studies. Poland provided the digital camera that was a part of the scientific experiment ISTOK-IR spectroradiometer (wavelengths between 4.0-16.0 micrometer, 7km swath and 0.7 x 2.8km resolution).
