Figure 3.1-2: Optimisation of marine application is possible, since parallel fire / disaster monitoring<br />
missions assumed. As for these missions 2°-manoeuvres are considered, an<br />
optimisation without any additional manoeuvres is possible.<br />
The choice of the Field of View of one image is driven by the trade-off between resolution and the<br />
size of image FoV (constrained by detector technology).<br />
The choice of image FoV size directly influences observation scenarios by the number of required<br />
manoeuvres and image takes to cover the observation area (for marine application). Actually, the<br />
observation scenario (i.e. number of parallel fire / disaster monitoring missions per time, see below) is<br />
not a fixed user requirement. In general, the marine application mission asks for a large FoV and<br />
medium resolution, whereas high resolution is first priority for the disaster monitoring mission.<br />
For fire, disaster monitoring and oil slick / erosion missions following product FoVs are specified:<br />
Table 3.1-2: Product FoV requirements at SSP<br />
[in km x km at SSP] Threshold Goal<br />
Disaster monitoring 150 x 100 300 x 200<br />
Fire monitoring 50 x 33 100 x 66<br />
Oil slick 100 x 66 500 x 333<br />
Erosion 100 x 66 500 x 333<br />
An effective FoV of 285² km² has been implemented for all missions. Only for the panchro channel of<br />
the disaster mission, mosaic imaging with smaller single FoV sizes is considered.<br />
These FoV sizes consider pointing errors, which reduce the effective FoV compared to the<br />
implemented detector FoV.<br />
The spatial sampling distance (SSD) in N/S direction defined in the mission requirements refers to a<br />
certain latitude on Earth and do not consider the degradation of the N/S-SSD from nadir to higher<br />
latitudes. Depending on the maximum latitude in which the SSD requirement shall be fulfilled, N/S-<br />
SSD at sub-satellite point (SSP) can be derived. For the product requirements, a max. latitude of 52.5<br />
deg, leading to a degradation factor of two has been considered.<br />
The most challenging SSD requirement is for the disaster panchro channel with an SSD in N/S<br />
direction of 5 m (goal) to 50 m (threshold) at SSP. The SSD requirements for the other channels are<br />
more relaxed (between 50 m goal to 500 m threshold).<br />
The absolute geolocation knowledge of each sample of an image observed at one instance shall be<br />
