Key highlights

The SOP 120 SWIR (Scanway Optical Payload) is a microsatellite-sized imager designed for advanced Earth Observation applications. It is capable of capturing high-resolution imagery in the SWIR spectral band. Operating from an altitude of 500 km, the SOP 120 SWIR delivers a ground sampling distance of 10 m/pixel, ensuring detailed spatial resolution for a wide range of observational and analytical needs.

Applications

The SWIR imager facilitates a wide range of Earth observation applications across various sectors (applications where material properties, moisture content, and heat signatures are important), including:

Vegetation and Agriculture
Geological Mapping
Wildfire Detection and Monitoring
Environmental Monitoring
Disaster Management
Energy Sector Monitoring

Key features

Scanway Optical Payload is a product line of satellite cameras for various remote sensing applications dedicated to integrating with nano- and microsatellites. Our payloads are able to image the space object’s surface in different spectral bands (RGB/PAN/NIR/SWIR) and multispectral with GSD from <1 to 25 m/pixel.

SOP space cameras have an athermal design that maintains high imaging quality parameters Imagery obtained with SOP has many applications, such as monitoring natural disasters, studying climate change, supporting agriculture and urban development, and object classification.

Customization

Product customization is available, encompassing both the number of spectral bands and the design of the telescope.
