Abstract

The German Modular Optoelectronic Multispectral Stereo Scanner MOMS-2P was launched May 1996 aboard the Russian space platform MIR-PRIRODA on a preoperational mission for about two years duration. Technical features of the sensor are three-line along-track stereo imaging, high spatial and spectral resolution, optimized multispectral imaging and combination of stereo and multispectral imaging. Advantages of the sensor have been confirmed by the Second German Spacelab D2 Mission on the Space Shuttle flight STS-55 1993, during which useful data were acquired for a broad range of geoscientific objectives. The advanced sensor can receive data covering the Earth surface from N51.6° to S51.6° with a repetition rate of 2 to 7 days during the present 2P mission. This paper gives an overview of the technical advantages of the sensor and demonstrates the first image results of the MOMS-2P mission
