Abstract
Hyper Spectral Camera (HSC) is a VNIR (visible and near-infrared) hyperspectral sensor for micro satellites. The objective of the HSC is to provide high-quality hyperspectral images and to utilize for agricultural area. The HSC acquires GSD (ground sampling distance) of 15m over a swath width of 15km. The spectrometer is equipped with a direct vision prism and covers wavelength range from 450nm to 1000nm. The result of the optical design indicated that high imaging quality at each wavelength is achieved. The HSC also has data handling subsystem. High-general versatility for data handling and interface is implemented to the HSC. The subsystem is integrated by FPGA and uniquely installs mass memory and some peripheral components. Space Wire interfaces the HSC and satellite bus subsystem. It is scheduled to complete the HSC Proto-Flight Model development at the end of FY2010.
