Video Imaging Demonstrator for Earth Observation
The project aims to develop a highly-disruptive Technology for an instrument offering Video Observation of Earth: an novel architecture will be demonstrated, based on state of the art technologies for mirrors (freeform), structures (additive manufacturing) & detection (new generation detector & processing chain). It will allow to answer new types of problematics and missions, anticipating the emergence of on-board smart algorithms. The VIDEO project will be a new type of instrument designed to be used with the next generation of on board processing capacity. Due to its specific & innovative technologies and architecture, the VIDEO instrument will be the pathfinder of the next instrument generation for Earth Observation. The VIDEO project proposes a set of breakthrough technologies for Earth Observation instruments, including freeform mirrors, structure in AlSix (low deformation) Additive Manufacturing (with increased demise capacity), as well as a new detection channel with video acquisition. Indeed, the VIDEO project is the future of the small & compact instrument with extra wide field of view. Based on TAS’ exclusive patent combining in a smart optical compact design, the VIDEO instrument will have the capability to perform High Resolution video monitoring on an extremely wide scene. The VIDEO project includes a downscaled instrument that will demonstrate on the ground the functional viability of all these technologies mixed together with an end to end demonstration. All the partners, which are from the European space industry value chain, will be involved in both the development and the demonstrator manufacturing of the VIDEO solution: TASF is the coordinator, designed of the global solution and end-user; Poly-Shape is the additive manufacturing partner; AMOS is the mirrors polisher; Pyxalis is the detector manufacturer; University of Las Palmas is the video processing expert; and TAS-E is the final assembler of the instrument for the end-to-end demonstration
