About
The SCS Space nSight-3 is a mid-size 6U CubeSat Earth observation platform providing hyperspectral and panchromatic imaging from 500 km orbital altitude. With a 12 kg mass and 5-year design lifetime, the nSight-3 carries the Chameleon imager delivering hyperspectral imagery at 9.6 m GSD (29 m dataset pixel) and panchromatic imagery at 6 m GSD, both across a 20 km swath. Built on bus heritage from the nSight-1 mission.
