ABSTRACT:
An imaging system is attached to a satellite, the imaging system includes a transmitting segment which transmits a field of view of photonic radiation to a focal plane array imager. Displacements such as jitter and drift are capable of being applied to the imaging system, which can result in apparent movement of said field of view applied to the focal plane array imager. A stabilizing segment limits the apparent movement of the field of view detected by said focal plane array imager in two orthogonal sensed translational directions, and about a sensed rotary direction.
