This paper covers the actual status of the OHB-system activities in the field of Earth observation with small satellites ranging from scientific to commercial missions. The payloads comprises applications for multi-spectral, hyper-spectral and infrared imaging, SAR, LIDAR, Radio Occultation measurements and magnetic field sensing. DIAMANT is a small satellite programme based on the high-resolution Multi-Spectral Remote Sensing system (MSRS) designed by OHB and partners. The SAR–Lupe constellation is currently being developed at OHB with the objective of delivering high-resolution SAR images for military reconnaissance. Infrared Earth observation systems for the detection and analysis of high-temperature events such as EKOSAT-IR and FIMOS are currently studied by OHB and partners. OHB is also working on the technology for SPECTRA and WALES, the two candidates for ESA's Earth Explorer Core Missions. OHB performs a phase A study for the Candidate Earth Explorer Opportunity Missions SWARM. The realisation of an end-to-end user oriented infrastructure, including space and ground segment, is one long-term goal of OHB's Earth observation activities. |
