Abstract: MIRORES is a compact mid-infrared (MIR) to far-infrared (FIR) spectrometer designed for geological prospecting on the Moon and Earth. It covers the 6–20 µm range (optionally extending to ~45 µm) at ~0.5 µm spectral resolution, enabling detection of mineral signatures (e.g., phosphates, oxides) not observable with visible/near-infrared sensors. A 256×320 focal plane array (with 16 narrowband channels of 20 rows each) and two additional detectors for apatite and ilmenite, paired with a lightweight optical system, delivers robust performance in both lunar and terrestrial applications. Field trials and integration plans demonstrate technical readiness and strategic alignment with space resource initiatives.
