Abstract

An overview of the IRS payload development for ESA's EXPERT mission is given. The final design and performance parameters of the payloads PYREX, PHLUX and RESPECT are described. PYREX is a sensor system measuring the thermal protection system (TPS) rear side temperature. PHLUX is a catalysis based experiment to determine the dissociation degree of the boundary layer. RESPECT applies optical emission spectroscopy to measure spectrally resolved the radiation onto a TPS surface.
