High-res reconnaissance from GEO?
Submit on Thursday, December 5th, 2013 22:56
DARPA’s Membrane Optical Imager for Real-Time Exploitation (MOIRE) programme aims to create technologies that would enable future high-resolution orbital telescopes to provide real-time video and images of the Earth from Geosynchronous Earth Orbit. Size and cost constraints have so far prevented placing large-scale imaging satellites in GEO, so MOIRE is developing technologies that would make orbital telescopes much lighter, more transportable and more cost-effective.
