Scientific paper

The third satellite in the miniature sensor technology integration (MSTI) program includes two infrared imaging sensors with filter wheels, and a visible imaging spectrometer, with a common telescope and gimballed scan mirror assembly. These sensors will provide high spatial and spectral resolution imagery in the visible and 2.5 - 4.5 micrometers spectral regions. These spectral regions can provide information on the atmospheric aerosol optical thickness and size distribution; the vegetation index and crop classification; upper atmosphere temperatures, and tropospheric water vapor. In addition, the highly accurate pointing and tracking capability of the scan mirror permits a long look at particular events such as volcanic eruptions, major oil-spills, desert dust storms, forest fires and air pollution episodes. This tracking capability could also support ground truth calibration of other satellite sensors.
