KITSAT-2 CCD earth imaging system experiment

As a payload of KITSAT-2, also known as KO-25, the CCD earth imaging system is equipped with a single chip color CCD camera system as well as a monochrome camera system. The black and white narrow angle camera has a mean ground pixel resolution of about 200 m and the color wide angle camera has a meteorological mean ground pixel resolution of 2 km. Brief test results of the narrow angle camera are presented. The paper also presents image processing activities, including image correction and the vegetation index comparison of narrow images with readily available satellite data such as AVHRR. General information on the color imager is also given.
