Abstract
A compact imaging system, the Multi-spectral Earth Imaging System (MEIS) was developed and operated on an engineering test satellite, KITSAT-3 at the orbital altitude of 720 km. The MEIS takes multi-spectral images of the earth's surface with the swath width of 48 km and the ground sampling distance of 13.8 m in three spectral bands. A brief technical description of the KITSAT-3 MEIS and the result from its initial operation since early June, 1999 are presented. The quality of images produced by the KITSAT-3 MEIS was found comparable to that of images from existing commercial earth observation satellites from its preliminary assessment.
