Fantastic to learn that the Caeleste hyperspectral sensor used in the AMOS ELOIS Spectrometer has completed its development phase and is now fully space-flight qualified! 🚀🌌🛰
With a mass of 40 kg, this instrument is dedicated to small-sats and offers excellent radiometric performance (SNR up to 400) over the entire solar spectrum (400 nm -> 2450 nm).
With an image space F-number of 2.1, it is one of the fastest instruments of its type. The ratio between Swath (70 km) and Ground Sampling Distance (35 m) is about two times larger than currently planned or on operational hyperspectral missions.
Thanks to its 200 spectral bands it captures specific information that a simple camera would not see!
