After the success of the vegetation instrument onboard PROBA-V – a multispectral push broom imager based on a compact three-mirror telescope– a dedicated study was conducted into evolutions of the design for use onboard Earth Observation missions.
A GSTP activity to develop mirrors and a structure for a new instrument design derived from PROBA-V successfully manufactured and tested an opto-mechanical breadboard of the telescope, with OIP leading the activity and AMOS manufacturing structure and mirror, both companies in Belgium.
