High-resolution smallsat electro-optical imager producing 1.4 m panchromatic and 2.8 m multispectral imagery across an 11-band spectral configuration. The 11 bands span visible, near-infrared, red edge, water vapour, aerosol, and panchromatic channels. Two DragonEye cameras fly on EOSSAT-1 (ZA-008/AgriSat-1), launched January 2023, providing 22.2 km swath from 540 km altitude for agricultural monitoring operated by EOS Data Analytics.
The DragonEye Imager is a high-resolution electro-optical pushbroom sensor manufactured by Dragonfly Aerospace for smallsat platforms. It delivers 1.4 m panchromatic and 2.8 m multispectral ground sample distance across an 11-band spectral configuration spanning visible, near-infrared, red-edge, water vapour, aerosol, and panchromatic channels (400-900 nm range; individual band centre wavelengths are not available from accessible public sources).[1]
The swath is 22.2 km; eoPortal references this figure against both 500 km and 540 km altitude, the latter matching the EOSSAT-1 operational orbit.[1] Both values are stated; no winner can be assigned from available data.
Two DragonEye cameras fly on EOSSAT-1 (ZA-008/AgriSat-1), launched on a Falcon 9 Transporter-6 mission on 3 January 2023 into a 540 km sun-synchronous orbit with a 09:30 local time of descending node. The satellite is operated by EOS Data Analytics for agricultural monitoring.[1]
