The EROS-A satellite was launched by Imagesat in Russia, December 2000. The platform has one imaging sensor: a high-resolution panchromatic camera. It was planned to be part of a constellation of satellites with two EROS-As and six EROS-B satellites with a 0.8m panchromatic band and a multispectral imager at an altitude of 600km.
EROS-A has polar, circular, sun-synchronous 480-km orbit, and has a swath width of 14km. The instrument is pointable, so it has 3-4-day repeat cycle and stereo pairs are available.
