High-resolution multispectral imager from Dragonfly Aerospace targeting 1.5 m PAN GSD at 500 km. 16U form factor, 12 kg, 45 W. Dual operating modes: RGB snapshot (6.1 km swath) and 11-band multispectral pushbroom (15 km swath at 3 m binned). Intended as the payload for KomodoSat. TRL 5 as of 2026.
The Komodo Imager is a high-resolution multispectral imaging sensor under development by Dragonfly Aerospace. Dragonfly material describes Komodo as targeting 1.5 m panchromatic ground sample distance at 500 km altitude, with a TRL of 5 as of 2026-05-28; no confirmed orbital flight has taken place at this time. [1]
The instrument occupies a 16U form factor, weighs 12 kg, and draws 45 W. It supports two operating modes: an RGB snapshot mode with a 6.1 km swath and an 11-band multispectral pushbroom mode with a 15 km swath at 3 m binned GSD. Bit depth is 12 bits.
Spectral range in nanometres for the 11 multispectral bands has not been published in accessible sources as of 2026-05-28; dragonflyaerospace.com returned access errors at research time. The instrument operates in the VNIR portion of the spectrum based on its optical design class.
The Komodo is intended as the primary payload for the KomodoSat satellite, a Dragonfly Aerospace satellite programme. KomodoSat mission details and launch timeline were not accessible in public sources at the research date. [2]
