TriScape200

The TriScape200 is enabling change monitoring applications at an extraordinary resolution in a CubeSat form factor. The engineering team based the designed on a 65.4-megapixel RGB CMOS image sensor. This imager is ideal for real-time high definition video and push-frame imaging from space.

Features:

  • 65-megapixels (9344 x 7000)
  • 10-bit pixel depth
  • Up to 30 full resolution frames per second
  • 1.5 m GSD (at 500 km orbit height)
  • Ground footprint equal to 14 km x 10.5 km (at 500 km orbit height)
  • Integrated RGB Bayer filter in the visible spectral range
  • 128 Gigabyte non-volatile storage capacity for over 1000 full resolution image frames
  • On-board image processing and compression capabilities (optional)
  • Comprehensive telemetry and health monitoring including OFE temperature measurement
  • Latch-up current monitoring and optional on-board power switch with quick turn-off
  • Inject AOCS/ADCS parameters and time information into data stream
  • Expected lifetime of more than five years
  • For more technical details see Documents tab below

Applications:

  • Emergency management
  • Mapping & geographic information systems
  • Land use
  • Business intelligence
  • Infrastructure monitoring

The signal-to-noise ratio for a selection of integration times, at an orbit height of 500 km, is shown in the Figure below, at. A radiance level of 100 W·m-2·sr-1·µm-1 is assumed acrossthe spectral range for all of the SNR values. The figure also shows the relative through-system efficiency of the three spectral bands inclusive of sensor quantum efficiency (QE), lens transmittance and NIR blocking filter transmittance.
