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 />
