“…Trade studies were also conducted previously using both analytic and simulation models for spectral imagery to configure complex data selection parameters [11]. Other methods for studying system designs from a mission and operation perspective exist for satellite systems where the optimal design of small satellites is outlined in detail for a list of mission objectives [12]. More recent processes that were developed that facilitated decision making on the design of remote sensing satellites used an approach called multidisciplinary design optimization [13] and multiparameter joint optimization [14].…”

We developed a process to provide design recommendations for compact spaceborne spectral imaging systems with adaptive band selection capabilities. Our focus application was subpixel target detection, and we analyzed a set of mission scenarios to find relationships in detection performance between selected parameters of interest. We used an analytic model to predict performance and generate trade curves, then simulated a scene to analyze potential operational effects on performance for the selected target and background combinations. Using these models, we predicted and assessed each scenario to provide recommendations for mission feasibility and system design. The parameters we selected for analysis were target fill fraction, noise, number of bands, and scene complexity to find critical points in the trade space and reach a set of recommendations. We examined the operational effects by simulating a realistic scenario and ensuring key real-world phenomena were captured within the spectral images. Our results produced recommendations for each mission and provided a proof of concept for a process to analyze designs of miniature spaceborne imaging systems.

“…Its system overview was presented in a paper by Cao et al (2004), and it included such items as mission objective and mission requirements, satellite system scheme, reliability, cost budget project schedule and management and operation. Topsat is a mission designed to demonstrate the capabilities of small satellites for classically high value remote sensing missions (Brooks 2003).…”
