FFOCUS is a diffraction-limited, three-mirror telescope designed for wide-swath Earth observation with a compact opto-mechanical footprint. It achieves a 1000 km swath and 150 m ground sampling distance by utilizing curved detector technology and integrated narrow-band spectral filtering. This compact design effectively balances high-resolution performance with the mass and volume constraints of modern small-satellite missions.
