Context triple: [Cosmic Background Explorer, instrument, Far Infrared Absolute Spectrophotometer]
  • A. Near Infrared Spectrometer
    The Near Infrared Spectrometer is a scientific instrument designed to analyze the composition and mineralogy of surfaces or atmospheres by measuring their reflected or emitted light in the near-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum.
  • B. Infrared Spectrograph
    The Infrared Spectrograph is a scientific instrument designed to disperse and analyze infrared light from astronomical objects, enabling detailed studies of their composition, temperature, and physical conditions.
  • C. Imaging IR Spectrometer
    The Imaging IR Spectrometer is a Chandrayaan-2 orbiter instrument designed to map the Moon’s surface composition by measuring reflected and emitted infrared radiation.
  • D. Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS)
    The Infrared Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) is a high-resolution near-infrared imager and spectrograph designed to study faint, distant, and compact astronomical objects with the Thirty Meter Telescope’s adaptive optics system.
  • E. Mid-Infrared Instrument
    The Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) is a key James Webb Space Telescope payload that provides imaging, spectroscopy, and coronagraphy in the mid-infrared range to study cold, distant, and dust-obscured cosmic objects.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
