Observation strategy of the EMIRS instrument, which has a 3 × 3 element footprint (corresponding to its 3 × 3 array detector). During one observation cycle, a scan of the Martian disk with minimal gaps is performed. The line-of-sight pointing of the instrument is controlled by spacecraft slew and rotation, retracing, and pausing of the scan mirror. Source: Altunaiji et al. (2017)
