About EagleEye Mission
The biggest Polish microsatellite for Earth Observation in visible and near-infrared spectral bands.
The EagleEye project has been ongoing since 2020 and aims to develop the largest Polish microsatellite for Earth Observation.
As part of the project, we are responsible for delivering an optical payload that is the largest fully designed and constructed Earth observation telescope in Poland. The EagleEye project is being carried out in a consortium with Creotech Instruments and the Space Research Center of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and is co-financed by NCBiR under the so-called Fast Track.
SOP 200
Scanway Optical Payload
The instrument follows Space 4.0 guidelines and European Space Agency methodology. This is dual-sensor refractor-reflector imager with 200 mm aperture.
Ultimately, it will enable imaging in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) bands with a resolution (GSD) of about 1 meter from the 350 km altitude (1.75 from 500).
GSD
1,75 m
OBSERVED AREA
7,2 x 5,3 km
ENVELOPE
430 x 350 x 300 mm
APERTURE
