MSU-200

Wide-swath panchromatic scanner flown on Kanopus-V spacecraft from V1/V3 onward.

Sensor

MSU-200 is a passive panchromatic wide-swath scanner flown on Kanopus-V spacecraft. ^[1] Its single band spans 0.54-0.86 um, with 25 m native ground sampling and a 250 km swath. ^[1] The instrument has a two-week global coverage cycle and has demonstrated optical time-series change detection on Kanopus-V. ^[1] It is a broad-coverage panchromatic imager, not a multispectral, thermal, or microwave sensor. ^[1]
