  ERMS – Earth Resources Monitoring System
  ERMS is a small, lightweight remote sensing camera for small satellites
It is configured for panchromatic scanning, upgradeable to a Multi-Spectral imager.
Its low weight (< 6.5 kg) and low power (20 W) make it ideal for very small, dedicated satellites for earth resources monitoring
