Summary

The Scanway Optical Payload (SOP) is a high-resolution telescope for Earth Observation (EO) applications suitable for both microsatellites and nanosatellites.

The SOP can be configured to different spectrum bands detectors such as VIS, NIR, SWIR and different imaging resolutions (GSD).

The system has been designed for the harsh environment of space, in the choice of both material and technology.

The in-house designed electronics can also store images and provide image processing capabilities with the use of FPGA modules.

The telescope can be used for many applications, such as the verification of marine vessel signals.

Key features

Modular design, allowing scalability from nano- to microsatellites
Optics and telescope allowing for adaptable performance, such as spatial resolution, image quality parameters (e.g. MTF) to application needs
Wide spectral window of optics
Possibility to integrate with any sensors, including multi-sensor systems; RGB, mono, NIR, linear, multi- and hyperspectral
Athermal telescope structure
Telescope designed according to the Space 4.0 philosophy
Possibility to integrate star sensors into one structure with the telescope to reduce the impact of AOCS on both systems
Possibility to integrate telescope shutter safety systems
Possibility to integrate telecommunication solutions into optical path of imaging sensors
Use of COTS and ITAR-free elements

Customizations

Product customization is possible. Scanway can deliver either tailored-to-fit SOP modules or new solutions, depending on the requirements.
