    Abstract
    The advances in both civil and non-civil applications, drives a continuous increase in the performance demands of space cameras. ELOP has designed a high resolution, high coverage, panchromatic space camera. It includes a wide field of view, anastigmatic three mirror telescope (ATMT), a highly stable telescope structure, and a focal plan assembly based on a line scanning TDI detector. The ATMT design allows achieving remarkable optical performance in a wide field of view. The stable telescope design assures high resolution even in extreme environmental conditions and in a variety of orbits. A novel focal plan design allows achieving the most from the theoretical limit of this camera performance.
