Multi-Camera Imaging System for Nanosatellites

A satellite imaging system uses multiple cameras. For example, the incoming light from a telescope section of the satellite goes through a dichroic beam splitter, with the standard visible spectrum going to a first camera and wavelengths outside of the standard visible spectrum, such as in the infrared or coastal blue range, are sent to a second camera, allowing image data from multiple wavelength ranges to be captured simultaneously. The image data from the different wavelengths of the two cameras can then be selectively recombined. In a more general case, there is a first range of wavelengths and a second range of wavelengths.
