SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MAPPING GEOSYNCHRONOUS REAL IMAGE DATA INTO IDEALIZED IMAGES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A satellite imaging system (100) provides successive coregistered images from the perspective of an idealized reference position, such as the nominal geosynchronous orbit position of the satellite. The disclosed satellite (101) is spin-stabilized, and so includes a despun plat- form (107) which supports a communications subsystem (109), and a spun rotor (111) which supports a sensor (103). The communications subsystem transmits sensor data along a path (115) to a ground station (105). Linear interpolation of real image data as a function of satellite position and imager attitude provides the ideal images. The disclosed invention is also applied to a pointing sensor such as one employed on a three- axis stabilized satellite. The coregistered idealized images coregistered facilitate analysis of weather feature movements and enhance weather forecasting.
