Abstract

Abstract:
In this paper several optical configurations for an orbiting high-resolution panchromatic pushbroom
camera are presented. The geometric design aspects for different optical sensor systems are
discussed. Several optical telescope configurations emphasizing the challenges associated with high
resolution imaging are studied. Different case studies and the result of a trade-off analysis, considering
not only optical performance but also other aspects such as cost, volume and complexity are presented.
