Design of a 4m resolution satellite imager for small satellites

open access: yes2013 6th International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies (RAST), 2013
Main criterion for response time and cost of a remote sensing space mission is the size of the intended satellite and it is directly affected by the features of the payload. By an affective optical design and utilization of emerging detector technologies, such as time delay integration (TDI) sensors, higher resolution cameras can be designed with ...
