Passive optical multispectral camera used on assessed BlackSky Global satellites, with 24 cm aperture, sub-metre ground resolution, and narrow nadir swath.

Sensor

SpaceView-24 is a high-resolution passive optical imaging telescope used on commercial low Earth orbit imaging satellites.^[1]^[2] It has a 24 cm aperture and a four-band visible optical channel set spanning roughly 450-700 nm.^[1]^[2] Spatial sampling is 0.8-0.9 m pixel ground sample distance in characterized imagery and 1 m at the subsatellite point.^[1]^[2] The nadir swath is about 6 km for the assessed satellite configuration.^[1] SpaceView-24 has demonstrated use for high-resolution repeat optical imaging and optical time-series change detection, where narrow-swath sub-metre-class scenes are more important than broad-area single-pass coverage.^[1]^[2]
