The Ball Experimental Sea Surface Temperature Radiometer (BESST) is an airborne pushbroom imaging radiometer developed by Ball Aerospace. It is a thermal infrared (8-12 μm) radiometer that measures sea surface temperature. BESST has a spatial resolution of 1 meter and a swath width of 200 meters at a flight altitude of 600 meters. It collects 130 frames per data frame, which takes about 53 seconds to complete. BESST was designed for deployment on uncrewed aerial systems (UAS) and small aircraft.
