T-Scout HP
Enhanced microsat-class variant of the T-Scout multispectral thermal infrared imager from cosine Research BV. Secondary payload on PAMI-1, the first Dutch Ministry of Defence satellite in the PAMI programme. Baseline T-Scout spectral bands: PAN-0 (10.0-12.5 um), TIR-1 (10.0-11.3 um), TIR-2 (11.0-12.5 um); 1024 px at F/1.5; 1.8 kg; 10 W; 85 m GSD and 87 km swath from 500 km. HP-variant performance specs (GSD, swath, mass, power) not publicly disclosed. Sensor spec below reflects baseline T-Scout architecture; HP improvements are unverified.
T-Scout HP is an enhanced microsat-class variant of the T-Scout thermal infrared imager, developed by cosine Research BV. The instrument serves as a secondary payload on PAMI-1, the first satellite in the Dutch Ministry of Defence PAMI programme.[1]
The baseline T-Scout architecture on which the HP variant is built provides three thermal infrared spectral channels: PAN-0 covering 10.0-12.5 um (broadband TIR), TIR-1 covering 10.0-11.3 um, and TIR-2 covering 11.0-12.5 um. The baseline instrument carries a 1024-pixel detector at F/1.5 focal ratio, with a mass of 1.8 kg, power consumption of 10 W, a ground sample distance of 85 m, and a swath of 87 km from a 500 km orbit.[2]
HP-variant performance specifications, including ground sample distance, swath, mass, and power, have not been publicly disclosed by cosine. Published information describes the HP as an enhanced variant optimised for microsat-class platforms without providing updated measurement figures.
