The MASCOT radiometer MARA is a multi-spectral instrument which measures net radiative flux in six wavelength bands. MARA uses thermopile sensors as sensing elements, and the net flux between the instrument and the surface in the 18 ∘ field of view is determined by evaluating the thermoelectric potential between the sensors’ absorbing surface and the thermopile’s cold-junction. MARA houses 4 bandpass channels in the spectral range of 5.5–7, 8–9.5, 9.5–11.5, and 13.5–15.5 μm, as well as one long-pass channel, which is sensitive in the > 3 μm range. In addition, one channel is similar to that used by the Hayabusa 2 orbiter thermal mapper, which uses a wavelength range of 8–12 μm. The primary science objective of the MARA instrument it the determination of the target asteroid’s surface brightness temperature, from which surface thermal inertia can be derived. In addition, the spectral bandpass channels will be used to estimate the spectral slope of the surface in the thermal infrared wavelength range. The instrument has been calibrated using a cavity blackbody, and the temperature uncertainty is 1 K in the long pass channel for target temperatures of > 173 K . Measurement uncertainty in the spectral bandpasses is 1 K for target temperatures above 273 K.
