Abstract

The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program (DMSP) Block 5D Satellite comprises a primary sensor (the Operational Linescan System), a 5D spacecraft, and special meteorological sensors (see "The Defense Meteorological Satellite Program" in this issue for configuration details). This article provides a review of the optical subsystem of the primary imaging sensor specifying the unique and novel methods used to obtain near constant high resolution, multispectral, meteor ological data
