This paper discusses versions of a compact multispectral scanning device intended to gather images of the earth's surface by digital photography in the wavelength range from 0.3to12.5μm, using an airborne camera carrier. System solutions are presented, along with a description of the equipment, the main parameters, and the technical characteristics of the created device. The results of terrestrial and airborne experiments are illustrated by examples of the resulting images.
