Key highlights
The SOP 450 (Scanway Optical Payload) is a microsatellite-sized imager designed for advanced Earth Observation applications. It is capable of capturing high-resolution imagery in the visible (RGB) spectral band. Operating from an altitude of 500 km, the SOP 450 delivers a submeter ground sampling distance, ensuring detailed spatial resolution for a wide range of observational and analytical needs.
Applications
The imager facilitates a wide range of Earth observation applications across various
- Urban Planning and Infrastructure Mapping
- Wildfire Mapping and Disaster Response
- Marine and Water Bodies Monitoring
- Agricultural Monitoring
- Forest Health Monitoring
- Facility Monitoring and Reconnaissance
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 possible, both in terms of the number of spectral bands, as well as the design of the telescope itself.
