For a RS camera, there are two big problems with this approach.
•Speed / Aperture / Weight, need small f# (f/d). f fixed by scale requirements, therefore diameter must be large. Glass is heavy. Satellite payloads must minimize weight.
•Chromatic Aberration, refractive elements (lenses) affect different wavelengths differently. Produces color fringes. Reflective elements (mirrors) do not. In addition, RS cameras usually have RGBI not just RGB channels, that makes it even worse.

Typical layout of linear sensor based telescope “camera” used for remote sensing from space.
Primary mirror (diameter determines the aperture size)
Secondary mirror, with support vanes
Parallel rays enter the aperture from terrestrial scenes
Focal plane with linear array CCD detector
Primary and secondary mirrors are “powered” (curved) and do the focusing, like a lens. There can be more than 2 elements. Sometimes there are flat mirrors to just “fold” the optical path for a needed long focal length. Area CCD arrays are not big enough for practical use. Dimension of linear array determines image “width” and cross-track GSD, orbit motion or “body scanning” plus sampling in time produce the image “length”, and determine the along-track GSD (usually these two GSD’s are approximately the same)
