xScape200 VIS Optical Front-End

The xScape200 VIS OFE is optimized from 450 nm to 670 nm with performance across the image plane. This OFE is ideal for a wide range of visible earth observation applications.

Datasheet

Design

Compact. Robust. Light.

The xScape200 VIS OFE is dimensionally and structurally optimised for 16U Cubesats or micro-satellites while staying inline with the GSFC-STD-7000 environmental testing standards. The image plane is designed to accommodate full-frame sensor and maintain performance across a wide spectral and temperature range.

TRANSMISSION

Optimal transmission across the visible spectrum.

The transmission, with obscuration, is maintained across the field for the visible and near-infrared spectral range.

DISTORTION VS FIELD HEIGHT

Accurate pixel mapping across the field.

Distortions are limited to a fraction of a pixel in each wavelength across the object field, making the xScape100 OFE ideal for TDI based sensors.
