At a glance
Compact Earth observation telescope in a 2U form factor – for LEO2VLEO missions from 300 to 500 km, multispectral, athermal and with active motion compensation.
Specifications
Full specification of the optical payload system.
Special FeatureLEO2VLEO
Designed for altitudes from 300 to 500 km – from very low Earth orbit (VLEO) to classic LEO. The lower the orbit, the finer the GSD – with the same optics.
Forward Motion Compensation*
Active motion compensation along the flight direction: longer exposure times and sharp images despite a ground speed of around 7 km/s.
Active Focuser*
Active focusing keeps the optics in focus across the entire temperature range.
Wide-Area Scan*
Roll oscillation, pitch backscan and 2D motion compensation extend coverage to up to 186 × 186 km² per scene – at full resolution, on a 16U CubeSat with standard attitude control.
AI Onboard Image Processing*
AI-based image processing on board improves SNR and resolution and reduces the amount of data to be downlinked.
* Features and other options, such as SWIR or LWIR, on request.
