Raptor has unique Space Heritage, with cameras flying on several live LEO Cubesat Missions. Camera cores are SWaP optimised, athermalised and ruggedised to withstand launch conditions and maintain optical performance while being exposed to the extreme operating conditions experienced in the space environment. Our in-depth knowledge and experience allows us to work with OEMs and integrators to offer unique custom design features.

Using a 1280 x 1024 InGaAs sensor from SCD, the Raptor Photonics OwL 1280 offers visible extension from 0.6µm to 1.7µm to enable high sensitivity imaging. The 10µm x 10µm pixel pitch enables high resolution imaging. It offers less than 28 electrons readout noise (rms) and with a high intra-scene dynamic range of 51dBdB, enabling simultaneous capture of bright & dark portions of a scene.
