Minimize PRISM
Instrument image

PRISM consists of three panchromatic telescopes for forward, nadir, and backwards viewing. The stereoscopic views will be used to create highly accurate digital elevation models, while the 2.5 m resolution will permit the production of orthorectified imagery.

PRISM will be used to provide land coverage and land-use classification maps for monitoring regional environments. In addition, the instrument has a cross track pointing capability useful for disaster monitoring.
