The Monitor imager offers impressive multispectral imaging capability in a small package by using advanced detectors, optics and high-speed data capturing. The monitor imager, the emphasis is on the achievable ground resolution, while maintaining an impressive combination of swath, spectral performance, ease of operation, and features. Image data is captured directly to the integrated mass storage, from where it may be streamed to an on-board computer and downlink at a data rate that can be conveniently defined by the end user. SCS ensures reliable operation by using a combination of proprietary space-proven hardware, electronics and ruggedized optics.
