The Visible/Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) is a key sensor on the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership satellite as well as the Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS). Emissive band calibration in the 3.7 to 12.5 μm wavelength is performed based on spectral emittance of a blackbody. This paper presents the results of the optical characterization for two builds for JPSS J3 and J4, of the VIIRS blackbody. This characterization is a combination of measurement and analysis.
