Design of compact multiband satellite imager using a complex mathematical model

Abstract

The article presents original design and fabrication principles and main characteristics of compact 8-m resolution multiband imager for small satellite. For estimation and obtainment of maximum possible parameters of the imager in spatial resolution and image quality with strict limits of weight and dimensions of imager a complex mathematical model of imager was developed and applied, which includes and binds image quality, geometric, energy and probability factor of spatial resolution of the whole section object-atmosphere-objective-CCD array. Keywords: compact 8-m resolution multiband imager, mathematical model of imager.
