Satellite imagery of lengthy territories with complex configuration with the account of attitude and positioning errors

A method for monitoring attitude and positioning errors when taking satellite imagery of lengthy territories with complex configuration using an ultra-high spatial resolution optical-electronic scanner is described in the article. The results of modeling the system of automatic satellite attitude program control during the process of imagery are presented. Given these results, the impact of attitude and positioning errors during satellite imagery was estimated on the coverage percentage of the territory to be imaged
