ETM+ Cold Focal Plane Array (CFPA) POD Assembly
Cold Focal Plane Array (CFPA) POD assembly for Landsat 7's Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus instrument, built by Santa Barbara Research Center in December 1995. This critical component houses the thermal infrared detectors that required cooling to operate effectively, enabling ETM+ to capture temperature data of Earth's surface.
