Pointing slewing capability

The agile platform can slew in pitch and roll to enable different slanted observations. These manoeuvres will allow observing vicarious calibration targets, like pseudo-invariant calibration sites identified by CEOS, under different viewing angles and characterising their BRDF.

The ability to point with configurable zenith and azimuth angles will allow aligning the viewing geometry to that of other sensors, hence eneabling intercalibration studies a larger angles away from Nadir.
