About
T-Scout is the first multi-spectral infrared imager with high resolution made for small (nano/micro and larger) satellites. It leverages new detector technology and calibration approaches to achieve high-quality infrared measurements not previously achievable on affordable platforms. Its onboard data-handling system supports real-time processing, enabling Level-2 product generation onboard and drastically reducing the data volume that must be downlinked. It targets applications in agriculture, fire monitoring, urban planning, defense, aquaculture, finance/insurance, forestry, mining, and oil and gas asset management.
