Subsystems

Imaging

This Subsystem captures near IR images of targeted surface on earth which helps in identification of the utilization of the place. The subsystem consists of a "Near IR camera", an external storage and an On-Board Computer(OBC) which acts as an interface between the two, apart carrying out the image compression/processing. The camera captures a 640X480 px image which is then transferred to an external memory by the OBC. The image is then processed (if required) and transmitted to the ground station. An overall resolution of about 161 X 161 m² per pixel is expected on earth’s surface. The total area of view, on earth’s surface is expected to be around 103 X 77 km².
