MEOSS is a single optics and single spectral band camera. Three CCD's [charge coupled devices] working in pushbroom mode are mounted perpendicular to the flight direction on a common focal plate. Their oblique views of + and - 23 degrees forward and backward, as well as nadir oriented, lead to threefold stereoscopic images. This principle allows a nearly simultaneous generation of all three images of a stereo triplet. 2, record 1, English, - Monocular%20Electro%2DOptical%20Stereo%20Scanner
