The xScape200 VNIR Optical Front-End (OFE) maintains optical performance across the spectral range from 450 nm to 950 nm. This product is ideal for multispectral and hyperspectral imaging applications across the visible and near infra-red (VNIR) spectra. The OFE is designed to survive the harsh structural loading, which is experienced during launch into space, as well as the severe operating conditions experienced in the space environment. Special attention was given to maximize the front aperture and focal length of the OFE to optimise the performance for a 12U CubeSat structure.
