banda del vicino infrarosso

Explanation:
"IT" mi risulta soltanto come Information Technology, mentre se parliamo di foto satellitari, queste sono spesso prese da macchine sensibili all'infrarosso (sennò si vedono solo nuvole, carino ma noioso!).
Le radiazioni infrarosse (IR per gli amici) si dividono in vicino, medio e lontano infrarosso, dove la vicinanza è rispetto allo spettro della luce visibile.
Quindi "IT" non esiste in questo contesto, deve necessariamente essere "IR": la terminologia degli addetti ai lavori è "vicino infrarosso". Buon lavoro!
