Target entity: VIRTIS
Context triple: [Venus Express, instrument, VIRTIS]
  • A. Ultraviolet Spectrometer
    The Ultraviolet Spectrometer was a scientific instrument on the Galileo spacecraft used to analyze ultraviolet light from celestial objects to study their composition, atmospheres, and energy processes.
  • B. 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.
  • C. Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite
    The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a key Earth-observing sensor that collects high-resolution visible and infrared imagery for weather, climate, ocean, and environmental monitoring from polar-orbiting satellites.
  • D. 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.
  • E. 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.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
