The xScape50 is known for its compactness while addressing the need for wide-angle imaging with a CubeSat. This payload is ideal for capturing vast areas in video mode, multispectral and hyperspectral modes.

RGB snapshot and video

Real-time HD video and snapshot imaging in visible light. The easiest entry point for change detection and wide-area monitoring missions.

Multispectral – 8 VNIR Bands

8 VNIR spectral bands for environmental monitoring, vegetation indices, and daily insight across more of the spectrum.

Hyperspectral – 32 VNIR Bands

32 VNIR bands resolving 460–860 nm. Ideal for capturing the spectral fingerprint of any location on Earth.

The xScape50 is Simera Sense’s 1U optical payload platform for CubeSat Earth observation. It is available in three spectral variants — TriScape50 (RGB), MultiScape50 (8-band multispectral), and HyperScape50 (32-band hyperspectral) — all sharing the same mechanical and electrical interface.

At a 500 km orbital altitude, the xScape50 achieves a ground sampling distance (GSD) of 30 metres with a SWATH width of 120 km, across all three spectral variants.

TriScape50, MultiScape50, and HyperScape50 are separate payload variants sharing a common 1U platform, mechanical envelope, and interface. You select the variant that matches your mission’s spectral requirements at the design stage; the shared platform means design familiarity carries across variants for future missions.

Yes. The xScape50 platform builds on flight-proven optical and mechanical heritage from Simera Sense’s broader portfolio of 50+ payloads in orbit, making it a low-risk starting point for teams flying their first Earth observation payload.

The xScape50 is a 1U platform achieving 30 m GSD and 120 km SWATH at 500 km altitude — optimised for wide-area coverage. The xScape100 is a 1.5U platform achieving 4.75 m GSD with a narrower swath, suited to missions requiring finer ground resolution. Mission requirements around revisit frequency versus resolution typically determine the choice.

The xScape100 delivers high-performance Earth Observation in a compact nanosatellite payload, combining reliable quality with cost-effective precision.

Turn your Simera Sense imagery into analysis-ready data without the complexity of building your own processing pipeline. Calibrated following ESA EDAP+ best practice guidelines.
