Abstract
The initial EKOSAT (ELOP-KARI-OHB-Satellite) mission, planned to be launched as in-orbit demonstrator of the Multi-Spectral Remote-sensing System (MSRS), is enhanced by the space-proven Hot-Spot-Recognition System (HSRS) from DLR. HSRS is currently demonstrating its advanced High-Temperature Event detection and analysis capabilities on the German Bi-spectral InfraRed Detection (BIRD) satellite. MSRS, developed by OHB and ELOP, provides high-resolution super-spectral data (VIS/NIR) for ecological applications. Joint operation of MSRS and HSRS will deliver for the first time simultaneously high-resolution super spectral and hot-spot data of hazard events. A feasibility study based on the existing KOMPSAT-1 flight spare model from KARI as spacecraft bus shows that EKOSAT-IR will facilitate a fast in-orbit deployment of MSRS and HSRS at a comparably low-cost. Based mainly on existing ground infrastructure, EKOSAT-IR will demonstrate and deliver new super-spectral and infrared Earth observation products for Earth Watch and GMES objectives as well as for upcoming commercial markets.
