- [GSD Calculator - Mastering Spatial Resolution for Earth Observation Satellites​](https://simera-sense.com/news/gsd-calculator-mastering-spatial-resolution-for-earth-observation-satellites/) - At Simera Sense, we frequently experience that Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) is the main driving parameter when selecting an Earth Observation instrument, but we also see that it is maybe the least understood parameter. Determining the spatial resolution of a satellite instrument is not that straight forward and something that one cannot easily do with a
- [Payload Design – Optomechanical challenges for CubeSats](https://simera-sense.com/news/payload-design-optomechanical-challenges-for-cubesats/) - With the drive to reduce optical payload form factors and capture data-rich images by utilising CubeSat platforms, payload design challenges arise. Specifically, when looking at the optomechanical design of these payloads. In the development process this is sometimes assumed as a given, as it should be, but achieving this “given” (that the optomechanical design meets
- [CubeSat Camera Resolution: Why MTF matters](https://simera-sense.com/news/cubesat-camera-resolution-why-mtf-matters/) - CubeSat Camera Resolution: Why MTF matters The end-to-end CubeSat camera resolution, or rather spatial resolution, is best quantified by MTF. As a result, knowing the end-to-end MTF of a CubeSat Camera allows a systems engineer to make appropriate selection choices when optimizing the CubeSat Camera resolution for a specific application.CubeSat Camera Resolution is all about
- [RGB CubeSat Imager: monitoring change on earth with video](https://simera-sense.com/news/rgb-cubesat-imager-monitoring-change-on-earth-with-video/) - RGB CubeSat Imager: monitoring change on earth with video RGB Cubesat Imagers, and even video Cubesat imagers, are ideal instruments to monitor change on earth. These eyeballs in space are a vital source of business intelligence. Add to this a bit of artificial intelligence, big-data analytics, and cloud computing, and you are equipped to detect
