ABSTRACT

 \;

Earth observing satellites have fundamental size and weight design limits since they must be launched into space. \; These limits serve to constrain the spatial resolutions that such imaging systems can achieve with traditional design strategies. Segmented- and sparse-aperture imaging system designs may offer solutions to this problem. \; Segmented- and sparse-aperture system designs can be viewed as competing technologies\; both approaches offer solutions for achieving finer resolution imaging from space.
