SPEO MR – VNIR & SWIR optical payload for Earth observation
A compact optical payload delivering VNIR & SWIR imaging for Earth observation applications.
SPEO MR is a multispectral optical payload, designed to capture images of the Earth across visible and near infrared (VNIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) wavelengths.
SPEO MR enables high-precision monitoring of environmental dynamics, supporting applications such as agriculture, climate analysis, resource management and disaster response.
Available in VNIR and VNIR/SWIR configurations, SPEO MR brings together two key elements:
- A wide aperture 250 mm telescope, allowing for bright and crisp high-contrast images,
- Bertin Winlight’s CamSight EO space camera for image capture (note that CamSight EO is also provided as a standalone component, for integrators designing bespoke Earth observation payloads).
What for?
SPEO MR provides actionable Earth observation data by delivering:
- High quality imaging for surface analysis
- Multispectral data supporting vegetation monitoring and environmental analysis
- Consistent monitoring capabilities through satellite constellations
Its dual-band capability (VNIR & SWIR) allows users to go beyond standard imaging, revealing spectral information of interest.
The optical payload supports key Earth observation applications, including:
- Agriculture and precision farming
- Climate and environmental monitoring
- Mining and resource management
- Natural disaster management
- Water and coastal monitoring
Key-benefits
