MSC  

Definition

  • MSC is a joint development of KARI with ELOP (Electro Optics Industries Ltd. of Rehovot, Israel) and OHB-System, Bremen, Germany. The objective is to collect high-resolution panchromatic and multispectral imagery of the Earth's surface (simultaneous observation). MSC is an optoelectronic linear pushbroom instrument with a single nadir-pointing telescope. The Pan band has a spectral range of 500-900 nm, the four MS bands are in the 450-900 nm range. The GSD (Ground Sample Distance) of the Pan data is 1 m (GSD), the MS data has a GSD of 4 m. The swath width is 15 km. A FOR (Field of Regard) of ±30º in pitch and up to ±56º in the roll direction is provided through spacecraft body pointing. MSC has a duty cycle of 20%. The EFL (Effective Focal Length) of the optics subsystem is 9000 mm for the Pan band, and 2250 mm for the MS bands. Parameter Value Parameter Value Spectral range Pan 500-900 nm Spectral range MS 450-520, 520-600, 630-690, 760-900 nm GSD (Ground Sample Distance) Pan (1 m), MS (4 m) Spectral bands 1 Pan + 4 MS Swath width, FOV 15 km at nadir, ±0.62º SNR > 100 MTF (Modulation Transfer Function) > 15% for Pan, 20% for MS Data quantization Payload power, mass 10 bit 350 W, 150 kg Detector line array 15,000 pixels (Pan) Detector line array 3,750 pixels (MS) (en)
