Elbit Systems is a globally recognized leader in the development and production of complex space-borne electro-optic observation systems. The company invests heavily in advanced research, concentrating on space telescopes, space cameras in different wavelengths and hyper-spectral systems, for military, government and civilian space applications. Elbit Systems has generated and placed fully operational, advanced panchromatic and multi-spectral cameras for high-resolution remote sensing in space. Currently in the third decade of its innovative space activity, Elbit Systems’ space systems provide the highest resolution in the most compact, cost-effective packages available today.
• Jupiter: an extremely high-resolution remote sensing payload with a top-end performance earth observation system. Jupiter contains panchromatic and optional multi-spectral (MS) imaging capabilities.
• Mercury: an earth global monitoring payload. Mercury provides panchromatic images with a 1.9 m resolution or a 1-1.14 m resolution with hyper sampling techniques.
• Neptune: a high-resolution remote sensing payload. Neptune orbits at an altitude of approximately 500 km providing 70 cm resolution, on real-time and detailed panchromatic images.
• Uranus: a multi-spectral space payload. Uranus provides a high-resolution 1.0 m panchromatic and a 4.0 m MS resolution at 685 km altitude.
• Venus: a super-spectral remote sensing camera. Venus provides 12 simultaneous overlapping earth images with high spatial and spectral resolution.
