衛星科學酬載海洋環境照相儀可行性研究之目的是參考國内華衛一號海洋水色照相儀酬載之技術資料，研發國内自製新一代海洋環境照相儀，目標為地面解析度500公尺，具8個光譜波段區，平均耗電量與平均重量均滿足衛星科學酬酬載規格限制分別為耗電量7.5W與重量7.5kg之微衛星海洋環境多光譜照相儀。其性能遠較華衛一號海洋水色照相儀之800公尺解析度、6個光譜波段區為佳，可對臺灣沿岸海域進行系統化且長期的環境觀測。整體光機設計與製作完全由國人獨立設計與製作，預計一年時間内製作出工程體驗證其可行性。

The purpose of this feasibility research, Marine Environment Multi-spectral Imager of Satellite Scientific Payload (MEMI), is to domestically develop a new generation of marine environment multi-spectral imager by referring to the technique materials from the ocean color imager (OCI) payload of FORMOSAT-1. The MEMI payload will achieve 500 m spatial resolution and 8 spectral characteristics. The power consumption is 7.5 W (average) and the mass is 7.5 Kg which meets the specification of scientific payloads. The performance of the new generation MEMI is superior to that of FORMOSAT-1 which can achieve 800 m spatial resolution and 6 spectral characteristics. The MEMI can be used to systematically and long-term monitor the marine environment near the coast around Taiwan. The entire opto-mechatronic system design and manufacture is independently developed by the domestic research group in Taiwan. This feasibility validation of the project is expected to be completed in one year.
