The HyperScape100 is engineered to bring hyperspectral capabilities to nanosatellites. This imager is based on a 12.6-megapixel image sensor and a continuous variable filter in the visible and near-infrared (VNIR) spectral range. The Hyperscape100 provides continuous line-scan imaging in up to 32 bands, each with digital time delay integration (TDI).
Features:
- 4.75 m GSD (at 500 km orbit height)
- Swath width of 19.4 km (at 500 km orbit height)
- Simultaneously image up to 32 user selectable bands in the VNIR range
- Panchromatic plus over 1000 hyperspectral bands available
- Hyperspectral FWHM bandwidth of 4% or 3% of the central wavelength
- Hyperspectral OOB energy less than 0.5% of inband energy over the entire spectral range
- 128 Gigabyte non-volatile ECC storage capacity
- On-board image processing and compression
- Comprehensive onboard telemetry and health monitoring
- Latch-up current monitoring and optional on-board power switch with quick turn-off
- Inject AOCS/ADCS parameters and time information into data stream
- Option to integrate pulse per second signal
- For more technical details see Documents tab below
Applications:
- Precision agriculture
- Forestry and land use
- Energy and infrastructure
- Coastal monitoring
- Air quality
Four standard filter options are available, as shown in the Table below. In all cases, the out-of-band transmittance of the filters are less than 0.01% (OD4). A panchromatic band is available only with filter option 4.
| Filter option | HyperSpectral λc Range |
HyperSpectral BandWidth |
HyperSpectral Resolution |
Panchromatic Band |
| Option 1 | 487 – 790 nm | 4% of λc | 0.4 nm | No |
| Option 2 | 502 – 801 nm | 4% of λc | 0.4 nm | No |
| Option 3 | 516 – 810 nm | 4% of λc | 0.4 nm | No |
| Option 4 | 442 – 884 nm | 3% of λc | 0.2 nm | Yes |
The signal-to-noise ratio with a selection of TDI stages for the different filter options is shown in the datasheet found in the Documents tab below, under section 3.2.
