Key highlights
The Cosine T-Scout is a multispectral infrared imager designed to have high resolution for small satellite applications.
The onboard data handling system is made for real-time data processing, enabling Level-2 generation onboard and thereby drastically reducing the amount of data to download and process on Earth.
It is designed to be operated on nano, micro, and larger satellites. T-Scout utilizes the latest developments in detector technology and calibration.
