MOMS-02 auf D2 Endbericht

Remote sensing of the earth, with the branch of land observation, is a component of the 4th Space Program of the Federal Republic of Germany. The national activities are complementary to ESA's European Earth Observation Program, to which the Federal Republic makes a considerable contribution. The activities promoted under this program comprise preliminary scientific and technological studies, the development of new satellite carried instruments and the execution of pilot projects to demonstrate and broaden the geoscientific utilization of instruments. Within this framework, MBB has been promoting instrument development of the Modular Optoelectronic Multispectral Scanner MOMS for land observation within the optical spectrum since 1976. One basic concept of the MOMS development line, pursued from the beginning, is that of a far-reaching modularity to permit a considerable reduction of the effort involved as compared to similar instruments, in order to achieve an extension toward more and narrower spectral channels and toward stereoscopic imaging techniques. For these purposes, MOMS-02 on Spacelab D-2 was a logical continuation of this development line.
