More Details On:
Ultraviolet/Visible Camera
The UV/Vis
camera used silicon charge-coupled-device (CCD) technology with a 288 x 384 pixel
array sensitive to light with wavelengths between 0.25 and 1 micrometer. Its field
of view was 4.2 degrees x 5.6 degrees with an instantaneous field of view (IFOV)
(the field of view of a single pixel) of 255 microrad. Pass bands were defined by
a six-position filter wheel. All except the broad pass band were selected by the
NASA Science Advisory Committee.
The five narrow pass bands of the UV/Vis camera were used to image the entire lunar
surface. The UV/Vis camera used on Clementine weighed less than 410 g and,
when compared to similar sensors in use at the time, represented a factor of 2 to
4 decrease in mass and a factor of 3 decrease in power consumption.
