Terrestrial instrument modified for use in outer space. Report discusses progress in development of infrared-imaging instrument for use in microgravity scientific experiments in manned module in payload bay of Space Shuttle. Imager intended primarily for characterization of surface temperatures in microgravity fluid-physics experiment. Design versatile so instrument serves as "off-the-shelf" unit for other experiments, eliminating need to duplicate development and qualifications for spacecraft for future experiments.
