The HyperScape50 is designed to captured large areas of the globe in up to 32 bands at a GSD of 30 m. This compact but powerful product is ideal 3U to 6U Cubesats, making hyperspectral imaging affordable and effortless.
The HyperScape50 enables a remarkable level of hyperspectral imaging at increased radiometric resolutions. It features the same imager electronics as the rest of the xScape product range, making it a reliable but compact workhorse for Cubesats. Moreover, with its 120 km swath, fewer satellites are required to capture the globe in more spectral detail, more frequently.
