Configurations

    Sensor Unit (SXp)

  • Simultaneously collects Pan, RGB and NIR
  • Panchromatic image size 17,310 x 11,310 pixels; color and NIR image size 5,770 x 3,770 pixels
  • Weight of SXp ~ 55kg
  • Pixel size on the ground (GSD) at flying height of 500 m is 2.9 cm, and at 300 m is 1.8 cm

    Computing Unit (CXp)

  • Processes raw images on board in real time, to compute quick views and histograms
  • 14 CPUs for computation of interim data products for in-the-air image quality assessment

    Data Units (DXp)

  • In-flight storage capacity limited only by number of DXps on board, given space and weight constraints of aircraft
  • Approximately 6,600 uncompressed images per DXp unit (~4.2 TB) can be stored
  • Stores mirror images of the data on two DXp units

    Operational Specifications

  • Post-processing can begin in the air and be completed on the ground with a laptop or group of PC’s
  • 11 hours of collection time per single DXp unit at 70% and 20% overlap at 20 cm GSD, 140 knots
  • Image geometric accuracy is approximately +/- 2 μm

    Options

  • Mobile Server, high capacity storage on the ground
