Abstract:
Image sensors and methods for a geostationary orbiting satellite are disclosed. One image sensor includes a plurality of co-collimated telescopes having substantially the same field of view of a planet when mounted on the geostationary orbiting satellite and a plurality of focal plane arrays. Each of the plurality of co-collimated telescopes is arranged to direct its image to a respective one of said focal plane arrays. The focal plane arrays are sparsely populated upon a focal plane of each of said co-collimated telescopes and configured, in combination, to provide an image of a generally entire visible hemisphere of the surface of the planet.
