This campaign includes observations from spacecraft near or orbiting the Earth, covering X-ray through visible wavelengths and ground - based observatories covering near - infrared through radio wavelengths.

It consists of a charge - coupled device camera with four color filters spanning wavelengths from 400 to 970 nm plus a near - infrared imaging spectrometer covering wavelengths from 1.25 to 2.5 μm, where the various cryogenic ices are distinguishable via their characteristic vibrational absorption features.

Martin Mittendorff and his colleagues are now developing their system further so that it will cover an even wider wavelength range, starting with ultraviolet light and going all the way into the far infrared range.

To maximise sensitivity, the camera lens is covered with a filter which lets through mainly infrared light, and rejects light of other wavelengths.
