The Clementine Near-Infrared (NIR) camera used a catadioptric lens with a 256 x 256 indium antimonide (InSb) focal plane array (FPA) mechanically cooled to cryogenic temperature. The FPA was operated at 70 ± 0.5 K at the Moon. The instrument has six bands at wavelengths of 1100, 1250, 1500, 2000, 2600, and 2780 nm. NIR camera electronic design was virtually identical to the LWIR camera. The NIR and LWIR cameras also shared a common cryocooler and dewar design, with minor modifications made to accommodate cold shield and cold filter differences.
