Abstract :
Infrared scanner is one of the key payloads of small satellite constellation for environment and disaster monitoring and forecasting (HJ-1 IRS). HJ-1 IRS has four bands including NIR, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR with ground swath of 720 km and spatial resolution of 150 m/300 m. The main mission is the monitoring, prediction and evaluation of natural disaster and environment pollution etc. The special design and fabrication have been made to improve the performance of IRS. The characteristics of the IRS are introduced. Several applications examples are presented.
