Infrared sensors provide a backbone for many of the instruments flown by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) that monitor conditions on planet Earth. This paper gives an overview of some of those missions and infrared sensors used in the spacecraft instruments. Basic properties of the sensors are described and the evolution of sensor complexity is presented by example. Future trends pointing towards more sophisticated sensors in the future are discussed.
