The Near Infrared Spectrometer (NIS) instrument on the Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous (NEAR) spacecraft performed a comprehensive series of in-flight tests to validate its preflight radiometric characteristics and to characterize instrument stability, pointing, and co-alignment with other instrument
