The Japanese optical sensor for EOS-A platform is an advanced multispectral imager with a high spatial, spectral, and radiometric resolutions, and tentatively named ITIR. The ITIR consists of three subsystems: a visible and near infrared radiometer (VNIR), a short wave infrared radiometer (SWIR), and a thermal infrared radiometer (TIR). The VNIR has two telescopes necessary to realize the stereoscopic viewing capability. Significant design challenges are realization of the pushbroom-type VNIR sensor with a high spatial resolution of 15 m, the pushbroom-type SWIR sensor with a high spectral resolution, and the whiskbroom-type TIR sensor with high spatial, spectral and radiometric resolutions. The long life mechanical cooler for the SWIR and the TIR sensors are also a component with a technical risk.
