Abstract

KARI (Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is developing the MSC (Multi-Spectral Camera) payload of the KOMPSAT-2 spacecraft to be launched in 2004, which takes high-resolution images of the Earth by using panchromatic and multi-spectral detectors in the visual and near IR spectral ranges obtained at an altitude of 685 km. This paper describes available sources of the modulation transfer function (MTF) and the results of MTF analysis for the MSC system whose design is updated after detailed design review process.
