About

The Satellite Multiband Imaging System is engineered for optoelectronic surveys of the Earth and water surface. It operates in three distinct spectral bands within the visible and near-infrared (IR) electromagnetic spectrum. The system, released in 2012, has a guaranteed service life of 5 years in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and is flight qualified. It can be adapted to meet specific customer requirements. The system is composed of two identical multispectral camera devices, each forming a separate structural unit. Key features include a spatial resolution of 50 meters from an 830 km altitude, 3 spectral zones, and specific spectral bands of 0.520 – 0.590 µm, 0.640 – 0.690 µm, and 0.785 – 0.900 µm. It boasts an image dynamic range of 72 dB, 10 quantization digits, and a data rate of 2 x 30.72 Mbps. Each unit weighs 7 kg and consumes 15 W of power, contributing to a total swath width of 2 x 500 km.
