SOLAR MEMS TECHNOLOGIES
The SOP 1U/65 (Scanway Optical Payload) is a nanosatellite-size imager fitted to 1U designed for advanced Earth Observation applications. It is capable of capturing high-resolution imagery in both the visible (RGB) or NIR/PAN spectral bands. Operating from an altitude of 500 km, the SOP 1U/65 delivers a submeter ground sampling distance of near 14 m/pixel, ensuring detailed spatial resolution for a wide range of observational and analytical needs.
Applications
The imager facilitates a wide range of Earth observation
applications across various sectors, including:
