Camera
The Payload of the satellite is a CMOS digital camera with a resolution of 1280x1024 pixels, ie. 1.3 megapixels with a colordepth of 24 bit. This will from a height of 900 km with the chosen optics give a resolution of about 120x110 m per pixel. The camerachip itself is sponsered by a company in Aalborg called Devitech. The lens system is developed by the mechanical group and Copenhagen Optical Company and the structure in which the lenses are placed is made from Titanium.
