The SOP 450 (Scanway Optical Payload) is a microsatellite-sized imager designed for advanced Earth Observation applications. It is capable of capturing high-resolution imagery in the visible (RGB) spectral band. Operating from an altitude of 500 km, the SOP 450 delivers a submeter ground sampling distance, 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:
- Urban Planning and Infrastructure Mapping
- Wildfire Mapping and Disaster Response
- Marine and Water Bodies Monitoring
- Agricultural Monitoring
- Forest Health Monitoring
- Facility Monitoring and Reconnaissance
Customization
Product customization is available, encompassing:
- number of spectral bands - by custom spectral filter application,
- GSD / SWATH - change of camera to a different one / to our custom solution, change of optical system.
Flight heritage
The payload will be launched in the middle of the 2026.
