The MERCURY remote sensing camera provides real-time, detailed high resolution, panchromatic imagery intelligence of broad geographical areas. The reliable and proven MERCURY is integrated in the EROS A satellite that was launched in December 2000 and is still fully operational. Imagery intelligence from the MERCURY camera enables detailed monitoring and analysis of changes across regions over time.
The EROS A satellite is the first in a family of Earth Global Monitoring systems, operated by ImageSat International N.V. MERCURY is a modular, lightweight, low power camera which is easily integrated in LEO small/micro, lightweight satellites to collect imagery intelligence efficiently. The high quality imagery intelligence delivered by the MERCURY camera has strategic value for various applications.
