Abstract

Safran Reosc has developed a family of high performance, ultra-compact, space-based payloads for Earth observations applications and space-based surveillance awareness.
The SEEING 230 Wide is compact imager designed to achieve a medium ground sampling distance of 8 meters at an altitude of 500km and a field of view of 60km. This instrument provides imaging mode in panchromatic as well as multispectral channels in seven different spectral bands. The instrument has a total mass of less than 9kg in a volume less than 230mm x 230 mm x 450 mm (including the external baffle). The first unit has been launched in January 2025 and the in-orbit performances of the imager will be presented.
