About

The KSOI-300 is Kairo Space’s highest-specification optical imaging payload, featuring a 300 mm aperture telescope-class design for high-resolution earth observation from LEO. It enables CubeSat-based imagery with fine ground sampling distances suitable for precision monitoring applications including infrastructure assessment, boundary mapping, urban planning, and intelligence applications.

A technical datasheet covering optical performance parameters, mechanical interface dimensions, electrical interface requirements, and thermal characteristics is available for qualified customers evaluating the KSOI-300 for integration into their satellite systems. The imager is designed for larger CubeSat and small satellite form factors given its aperture size.
