Payload equipment consists of two sensors — panchromatic 
(PSS — panchromatic shooting sensor) and multispectral (MSS 
— multispectral shooting sensor) which allow to get image in 
four spectral bands — near infrared, red, green, blue. Shooting 
may be done simultaneously in panchromatic and multispectral 
modes and also with different combinations of spectral bands or 
only in one spectral band. Main technical characteristics of PSS 
and MSS sensors are shown in table 2. 
Sensors. 
MSS sensor geometry is frame camera sensor, but if has some 
feature — it CCD matrixes for different spectral bands dispersed 
in focal plane (see figure 3). With this feature multispectral 
images may be done only in overlapped areas during satellite 
movement. But technology of multispectral synthesis will be the 
theme of another article.

This work will be devoted to processing technology of PSS 
sensor data.The main feature of PSS sensor — it is done from 
different CCD micromatrixes. Scheme of matrix placement is 
shown on figure 4.
