专题制图仪是休斯飞机公司为美国航天局为LANDSAT系列航天器制造的第二代地球资源传感器。TM于1982年7月被放置在LANDSAT-D航天器上的轨道上。它的前身，多光谱扫描仪（MSS）已经在LANDSAT的1到3上飞行，并伴随着LANDSAT-D上的TM。在1972年在LANDSAT-1上发射第一个MSS之前，就认识到需要改进性能。TM的性能规格是为了提高下一代传感器的性能而制定的。本文将提供一个TM的概述，并将简要讨论LANDSAT-D的使命和轨道，TM设计，仪器性能，和计划的状态。
The Thematic Mapper (TM) is a second-generation Earth resources sensor built by Hughes Aircraft Company for NASA for the LANDSAT series of spacecraft. The TM was placed in orbit aboard the LANDSAT-D spacecraft in July of 1982. Its predecessor, the Multispectral Scanner (MSS) has flown on LANDSAT's 1 through 3 and accompanies the TM on LANDSAT-D. The need for improved performance was recognized prior to the launch of the first MSS on LANDSAT-1 in 1972. The performance specifications for the TM were formulated to produce performance improvements in the next generation sensor. This paper will provide an overview of TM and will briefly discuss the LANDSAT-D mission and orbit, TM design, instrument performance, and program status.
