Satellites and subsystems > Satellite payloads > Satellite cameras > Uncooled Thermal Infrared (LWIR) Camera Core
Key highlights
The TIR Camera Core is based on uncooled microbolometer [8-14 µm] detector with a 1280x1024 pixel resolution and 12µm pitch. The detector NETD is less than 40mK. The maximum frame rate is 60Hz. It offers small SWaP (Size, Weight and Power) features.
Applications
Earth Observation (EO)
In-orbit servicing
Space Situational Awarness (SSA)
