Multi-Spectral Imager-Polarimeter (MSIP)

::: MSIP main purposes: aerosol/clouds parameters measurements and aerosol - clouds separation

::: Three spectral polarimetric channels: 410, 555, 865 nm 0°, 45°, 90°, 135° polarization each

::: Two intensity channels: (1) 410, 443, 470, 490; (2) 555, 670, 865, 910 nm

::: Wide FOV: 60°x60°, 770x770 km, resolution 3-6 km

::: Images rate 1.5 s-1 ÷ 6.0 s-1 (dependent on data rate transmission), exposure

::: Intercalibration of the MSIP using ScanPol scans, <1% accuracy
