Figure 4-1 - Video data are generated on SMS-GOES by a visible and infrared spin scan radiometer. Its major parts include a telescope (Ritchey-Chretien version of the classical cassegrainian telescope), a radiometer (8 channels for visible scan operations in the 0. 55- to 0. 80-micron band and 2 for infrared, scan in the 10.5- to 12.6-micron band), an optical line step scanner, and an electronics module.
