title = "In-Flight Performance of Hera TIRI and its Future Operation Plan",
abstract = "TIRI is an uncooled bolometer based thermal infrared imager with a filter wheel, developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) for the Hera mission led by the European Space Agency (ESA). Hera is a Planetary Defense mission to rendezvous with and explore the asteroid binary 65803 Didymos and its moon Dimorphos whose orbit around Didymos was deflected due to the kinetic impact by the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission on 26 September 2022. The Hera spacecraft was launched on 7 October 2024, changed its trajectory to the asteroid binary by the gravity assist of Mars during the Mars Swing By on 12 March 2025, and will arrive at the targets in December 2026 and start the observations there. The current status and the future operation plan for TIRI will be briefly described.",
