According to some reports, TES will carry a steerable antenna (possibly with
nulling capability that would prevent eavesdropping on communications), a
solid-state recorder, a step-and-stare mode camera (which keeps focussing at
one scene while the satellite is in motion), two-mirror optics (for
compactness), and high-bit rate data transmission.
