Technical Name Focal Plane Assembly (FPA)
Project Operator Taiwan Space Agency
Project Host 劉小菁
Summary
The focal plane assembly is the remote sensing component which converts the light to electrical signal. The Focal plane assembly applied on Formosat-8 telescope will perform the ground sample distance one meter of P band, two meter of MS band. In order to improve the image signal to noise ratio (SNR), Formosat-8 FPA has the time delay integration technique to perform high SNR and quality image.
Scientific Breakthrough
The Formosat-8 Focal Plane Assembly is the highest resolution remote sensing module in Taiwan. It provides seven spectral band images as well. It could provide sub-meter panchromatic image by post-process.
Industrial Applicability
Automated Optical Inspection at low-light situation、Wafer inspection、Panel inspection.
