The objectives of a space mission are accomplished by the payloads onboard the platform of a spacecraft. Payloads sense or interact with the subject and are typically unique to each mission and are the fundamental reason that the spacecraft is flown. The purpose of the rest of the subsystems is to keep the payloads healthy, happy and pointed in the right direction. The payloads largely determine the mission's cost, complexity and effectiveness. A critical part of a mission analysis and design is to understand what drives a particular set of payloads so that these demands can become part of the overall system trade process designed to meet mission objectives at minimum cost and risk.

    This chapter is an overview of spaceborne optical payloads. It summarizes over 50 selected optical payloads that flew, are flying and those to be flown in various space missions, including Earth observation, communications, weather, and science satellites and deep space exploration. These optical payloads cover all the six types of optical payloads: 1) panchromatic sensor, 2) multispectral sensor, 3) imaging spectroscopy sensor, 4) Fourier transform spectroscopy sensor, 5) lidar and active optical sensor, and 6) spectrometer and radiometer. In addition, some optical payloads that do not fall in these six types are also included for a more comprehensive coverage. In addition this book has chapters that cover optical payloads developed for microsatellites and nanosatellites.
