The Atmospheric Chemistry Suite (ACS) is comprised of four blocks (ACS-NIR [blue], ACS-MIR [green], ACS-TIR [dark red] and a central electronics box [dark yellow]) integrated into a single unit. ACS-MIR has a solar occultation aperture; ACS-NIR has a wide-angle aperture for nadir and limb viewing, and ACS-TIR has a one-dimensional scan mechanism that allows it to observe space, a black body, nadir or the Sun.
