Copernicus CHIME's Imaging Spectrometer: From development to first flight model

In 30 seconds

The CHIME hyperspectral imager employs a three-mirror anastigmat telescope and multiple spectrometer units to capture over 200 spectral bands across a 130 km swath. This architecture facilitates rapid Earth observation with high spatial and spectral resolution for diverse environmental monitoring. The system’s design enables efficient data collection, ensuring a short revisit time through a multi-satellite constellation.
