Abstract: In satellite remote sensing,using wide field linear array CCD ca-mera and high resolution CCD camera as a combination of sensors is a feasibleapproach.The former is used for coarse observation oi the earth resources in-formation and the later for fine observation.The development of the wide fieldCCD camera for satellite use and its air-borne test result on board small sizepilotless aircraft are presented.In system design,main consideration is givento geometric resolution and radiation resolution.The problem of items,suchas swath and recovery period etc,are also discussed.The camera is installed ona two axes stabilization platform to obtain good air-borne test result.
