DRAGONEYE
Super-resolution DragonEye Imager for Microsatellites
DragonEye is a high-resolution imager for microsatellites based on radiation-resistant optical components with a very low coefficient of thermal expansion. DragonEye provides detailed Earth imaging in panchromatic mode and has almost twice increased angular field of view without facing difficulties of large aperture technology and loss of spatial resolution. Designed with a Cassegrain optical system with chromatic two-lense corrector, it has a wide field of vision as well as reduced de-centering sensibility.
