The xScape50 is Simera Sense’s 1U optical payload platform for CubeSat Earth observation. It is available in three spectral variants — TriScape50 (RGB), MultiScape50 (8-band multispectral), and HyperScape50 (32-band hyperspectral) — all sharing the same mechanical and electrical interface.
At a 500 km orbital altitude, the xScape50 achieves a ground sampling distance (GSD) of 30 metres with a SWATH width of 120 km, across all three spectral variants.
TriScape50, MultiScape50, and HyperScape50 are separate payload variants sharing a common 1U platform, mechanical envelope, and interface. You select the variant that matches your mission’s spectral requirements at the design stage; the shared platform means design familiarity carries across variants for future missions.
Yes. The xScape50 platform builds on flight-proven optical and mechanical heritage from Simera Sense’s broader portfolio of 50+ payloads in orbit, making it a low-risk starting point for teams flying their first Earth observation payload.

The xScape50 is a 1U platform achieving 30 m GSD and 120 km SWATH at 500 km altitude — optimised for wide-area coverage. The xScape100 is a 1.5U platform achieving 4.75 m GSD with a narrower swath, suited to missions requiring finer ground resolution. Mission requirements around revisit frequency versus resolution typically determine the choice.
