The Spanish bi-spectral & waterproof Infrared Camera onboard the EUSO-BALLOON (CNES) flight on August
24, 2014 from Timmins (Canada) will be reviewed in this paper. This infrared camera is aimed to obtain the
cloud coverage and the cloud top height in the whole Field of View (FoV). The Infrared Camera is a stand-alone
device of 0.4m x 0.4m x 0.4m with two filters centered at 10.8 μm and 12 μm and a wide optical system which
provided a total FoV of 45º. The operation mode ranged from -30 ºC to 55 ºC. It took 753 infrared images, 350
before landing on water. Nevertheless, the Camera was completely waterproof and therefore all the infrared
camera data were sucesfully recovered.
