The high resolution optical instruments for the Pleiades HR Earth observation satellites

Abstract: Coming after the SPOT satellites series, PLEIADES-HR is a CNES optical high resolution satellite dedicated to Earth observation, part of a larger optical and radar multi-sensors system, ORFEO, which is developed in cooperation between France and Italy for dual Civilian and Defense use. The development of the two PLEIADES-HR cameras was entrusted by CNES to Thales Alenia Space. This new generation of instrument represents a breakthrough in comparison with the previous SPOT instruments owing to a significant ste… Show more

“…Infrared (IR) imaging systems have become an essential tool in optical remote sensing [1], IR precise guidance [2], IR surveillance [3] and, deep-space exploration [4]. In order to reduce the size, weight, power consumption and cost (SWaP$) of IR imaging systems, it is necessary to reduce the optical system aperture and the detector size without reducing the comprehensive imaging performance [5].…”

“…In order to optimize image sharpness during the satellite lifetime, the instrument includes an innovative thermal refocusing device which avoids the need for a complex mechanism [2]. Image quality also requires a minimum signal to noise ratio that is achievable thanks to a Time Delay Integration (TDI) detection device for the PA band which allows to select between 7, 10, 13, 16 and 20 TDI lines.…”

“…The Pleiades-1B can acquire panchromatic (0.5 m) and multispectral (2 m) images with high geo-location accuracy (3 m @ CE90) and high resolution [10]. The system also employs a push-broom imaging concept [11]. NAOMI [12] is a product line of high-resolution optical cameras applied to SPOT-6 satellite and is based on the same telescope concept implementing one or several focal plane units in the same camera.…”
