The paper outlines an aerospace system intended for registration of multispectral and hyperspectral imagery within 250 - 1000 nm. The system is a versatile tool for remote sensing and investigation of the Earth surface, ocean and atmosphere. It includes: medium-resolution multispectral linear CCD array-based device providing simultaneous viewing in 3 of 8 relatively narrow spectral subranges within 400 - 1000 nm band; low-resolution hyperspectral CCD array-based image spectrometer providing simultaneously up to 512 spectral counts within 250 - 1000 nm band. The system makes it possible to set resolution and spectral parameters to fit the needs of various application tasks and observation conditions.
