The achieved ground resolution & coverage are generally between threshold (T) and goal (G)<br />
requirements, with the following exceptions:<br />
• VNIR channels have a resolution (40 m & 80 m for marine) better than the G requirement<br />
• T requirement is not met in TIR for Fire Detection due to sensor size limitation. This is deemed<br />
acceptable because the MWIR band is actually used for fire area monitoring, whereas TIR<br />
bands are used to monitor fire temperature, for which resolution is not critical.<br />

4.3.2.1 Disaster Monitoring<br />
The high resolution PAN channel drives telescope diameter (set to 1.5 m) & pointing stability<br />
requirements. The acquisition is performed in 4 successive images, all downloaded for on-ground<br />
processing for SNR & MTF recovery. Indeed, the Nyquist MTF requirement for the raw images is<br />
relaxed from 10% to 5% to allow best resolution. The required SNR is increased in the same ratio to<br />
keep constant the SNRxMTF figure of merit to account for SNR degradation in MTF recovery by<br />
ground processing.<br />
Thanks to that, a Ground Sampling Distance (GSD) as good as 10.5 m (nadir), i.e. 21 m at 52.5 N is<br />
achieved, close to Goal requirement (10 m) for Disaster Monitoring. This resolution is achieved with<br />
LoS pointing stability requirements of 5 µrad/s and 0.15 µrad p-p, well within the capability of the<br />
selected AOCS design based on magnetic reaction wheels. As shown in §4.4, selecting conventional<br />
ball bearing wheels mounted on isolators (jitter increased 0.25 µrad p-p) has however a modest<br />
impact, with nadir GSD degraded to 11.5 m (23 m at 52.5 N).<br />
The same CMOS detectors are used for all UV-VNIR focal planes to reduce development cost & risks.<br />
The GSD of the UV-blue & Red-NIR channels is then obtained from the PAN GSD in the ratio of the<br />
