Paper Abstract
The resolution of conventional space telescopes is determined by the size of their primary mirror. However,
quality high resolution images can be obtained using inexpensive micro-satellite carrying an optical synthetic
aperture telescope. Noise, quantization (A to D) errors and aberrations due to imprecise location
and/or deformation of optical parts may all degrade the accuracy of the raw, unprocessed, individual images
and thus also the quality and resolution of the final synthesized image. These are analyzed in this paper.
Sample simulated images are presented, as well as some design and processing rules for such systems.
