SEMOViS project is being carried out by a consortium of Marble Imaging (prime) and Scanway (subcontractor), in European Space Agency InCubed programme - managed by the ESA Φ-lab Invest Office. Goal of the project is the development of a very-high-resolution (VHR) optical payload. The payload comprises a sub-meter visible, near-infrared imager and a high-resolution, short-wave infrared imager. The optical payload will fly on the first satellite planned to be launched in the first quarter of 2026 and the subsequent constellation. The two-year project funded by the ESA InCubed programme covers the complete development, integration and commissioning of the payload for the first demonstration satellite.
