Steering modes

Steering Modes

FIXED

The fixed steering mode implies no steering. The sensor geometry is unique and defined by the Field of View angles

STEERABLE CONTINUOUS

With continuous steering the satellite may select any Field of View orientation within a Field of Regard that represent the maximum steering boundaries

STEERABLE ENUMERATIVE

With enumerative steering the satellite may select a Field of View orientation within a set of predefined Field of Views or Beams, and within the Field of Regard that represent the maximum steering boundaries.

MULTI BEAM

In multi-beam mode the satellite will operate simultaneously all the defined beams, each with its Field of View.

SWATH FILE

In Swath File mode the swath Field of View is defined via an external swath file, typically in Earth Explorer File Format
