The XCAM Nuscis is a multi-application, multi-sensor compact camera designed for smallsat and CubeSat Low Earth Orbit missions. The modular architecture of Nuscis supports many different sensor types (CMOS, CCD, and EM-CCD) and optomechanical solutions.

It can be easily customized to support a whole range of different SmallSat and CubeSat imaging applications. The heart of XCAM Nuscis is the Nuscis Imager Controller Board (ICB) which is a complete single-board imaging solution.

The ICB can support four different families of TRL8/9 CMOS imaging sensors and has onboard data processing capability. The ICB can operate up to two CMOS sensors in a low-profile PC104 1/4U format and a low (<5W) power footprint. The TTC (telemetry, telecommand) and data transfer are handled through various common data interfaces.
