Jena Spaceborne Scanner JSS 56

Jena-Optronik applies modern imaging principles and components to build low-


cost optical spaceborne scanners in the VIS/NIR and SWIR wavelength ranges.

The JSS 56 is a compact, lightweight, long life and low cost multispectral imager product
applicable to all professional small satellite platforms. Covering the Earth’s surface conti-
nuously line-by-line (pushbroom principle) the imager of Jena-Optronik enables the precise
data acquisition of an 77 kilometres wide strip of land with a pixel size of 6.5 metres out of
630 kilometres orbit height.

Space proven technology


The first JSS 56 are the payload of the RapidEye satellites. Composed of five identical Earth observation satel-
lites, this worldwide unique constellation, is equipped with one multi-spectral imager from Jena-Optronik on each
satellite. Launched on 29th of August 2008, the German company RapidEye AG established with the help of the
imagers from Jena-Optronik, a commercial geo-information service (GIS) able to gather over 4 million km² of high
resolution, multi-spectral imagery per day.
