Optical, spectral and thermal sensors.

Technologies

• Panchromatic and very high resolution optical Sub-metre imaging for asset mapping, damage assessment and feature extraction.
• Multispectral imagers Visible to shortwave-infrared bands for vegetation, water, snow, burn and land-cover products.
• Hyperspectral imaging spectrometers Hundreds of contiguous bands for minerals, vegetation chemistry, water quality and gas plumes.
• Thermal infrared imagers Land and water surface temperature for heat stress, fire, industrial heat and evapotranspiration.
• Stereo, tri-stereo and video capture Along-track stereo and orbital video for elevation models and motion.
• Ocean colour and aquatic reflectance Water-leaving radiance for chlorophyll, sediment, algal blooms and coastal water quality.
• Low-light and night-time imaging Night lights for settlement, outage and activity mapping, and low-light imaging of fires and flares.
• Solar-induced fluorescence Retrieval of the faint fluorescence of photosynthesis as a direct signal of plant stress.
