Space-grade high FPS Global Shutter Camera

Orion12mp

CUSTOMIZABLE | 12MP Space Camera for Earth Observation & space domain awareness

What is Orion12MP

Orion12MP is a 12 Megapixel RGB/ Monochrome camera back end electronics unit which can be combined with application specific optical assemblies.

High FPS Image Capture Capability

Unlike standard monitoring cameras, the Orion12MP utilizes a global shutter and 100 FPS capture to eliminate motion blur during high-velocity maneuvers. For missions that do not require high-speed data collection and instead prioritize ultra-low power consumption for simple visual confirmation, our SelfieCam Video and Leo2MP provide a lightweight, TRL 9 alternative.

One of our modular space imaging subsystems, Orion12MP, a 12MP Space-grade high FPS Global Shutter Camera for Earth Observation and docking

Application

Orion12MP is suitable for a range of space applications such as Earth observation, hyperspectral imaging, space based space surveillance, and docking/rendezvous applications based on the selected optical assembly.

Highly Customizable

Orion12MP is designed leveraging a modular methodology providing the ability to customize the camera with different sensors and interface options with reduced engineering effort and cost. The system has been qualified for thermal vacuum, vibration and shock.
