About
The IM200 is a compact infrared multispectral imager designed for CubeSat payloads targeting Earth observation in thermal and near-infrared spectral bands. It enables vegetation health monitoring, sea surface temperature mapping, wildfire detection, and urban heat island studies. The IM200 provides calibrated radiance outputs and interfaces with standard CubeSat OBCs through SpaceWire or LVDS links. The instrument includes onboard calibration sources and thermally controlled detector housing for accurate measurements.
