The SENTINEL Infrared Telescope is a telescope. The SENTINEL Infrared Telescope was taken from the official SQUAD mod Asteroid Day.

In order for it to be used, it must be in a solar orbit (orbiting around the Sun). When activated, it will scan for and display asteroids that is in its closet planetary area. Eg: If it is closest to the Kerbin orbit, it will display the asteroids around Kerbin orbit.
