MOMS-02 is a push-broom scanner with four spectral bands in the 450–810 nm region (each with a 15 m ground resolution element at a 310 km orbit) and a panchromatic (520–760 nm) stereo mode with on-track stereoscopic capability. The stereo mode employs three look angles: nadir (with a 5 m ground resolution element), 24° forward and backward (each with a 10 m ground resolution element). The sensor which is funded by the German Ministry for Research and Technology (BMFT) is scheduled for launch on a Space Shuttle mission at the end of 1991. The selection and radiometric performance of the panchromatic and the multispectral bands are discussed.
