The project of a microsatellite intended for remote exploration of the atmosphere, ground and sea surface is considered. The realization of hardware part of payload of the satellite is based on the idea to use the turnable acousto- optical filter in ultra-violet and visible ranges of frequency enabling to ensure the programmed varying of one with (Delta) (lambda) less than 1 nm in area 0.2 divided by 0.9 mkm and using the counter of photons with high spatial resolution as a recording sensitive sensor. The given approach permits us to ensure the design realization of the small-size space platform, not requiring three axis precise orientation and stabilization of picture on sensor, which simultaneously is performing the role of star-tracker for detection of the satellite attitude motion.
The opto-electronic system for Earth observing from the space based on the tunable acousto-optic filter and the time-position counter of separate photons is considered. The possibility to reach the high spectral and spatial resolutions without wide-aperture optics and complex systems of control is shown.
An instrument comprising the optical unit including the objective lens and acoustic-optical filter, detector, and electronic unit interfaced with the IBM PC AT has been designed and manufactured.
Description of a class of heuristical algorithms for the time-coordinate data sequential analysis providing continuous output of data and eliminating the image blur is presented. The time- coordinate data make up a flux of coordinates and detection moments of input radiation photons detected by the lately developed new generation of photo-receivers.
