In this paper, design of electronics for VNIR hyperspectral payload for the small satellite is presented. The payload comprises of imaging unit, linear variable filters (LVF), a CMOS sensor and electronics module. The LVF is used as a spectral filter before the sensor. The rectangular sensor being an array detector captures images in different bands in pushbroom fashion utilising satellite motion along the track. VNIR electronics captures sensor data, processes, rearranges and writes in memory to form hyperspectral data cube (H-cube). This high-speed data is transferred in real time to bus data handler (BDH) of satellite bus. This paper covers challenges and important aspects required for designing such payload electronics.
