Abstract
A satellite for software-defined satellite imagery includes an optical assembly. The satellite further includes an attitude control system. The attitude control system is configured to control an orientation of the satellite such that the optical assembly slews across a ground track of the satellite. The satellite further includes a set of image sensors configured to capture an image using light directed to the set of image sensors at least in part by the optical assembly.
