About
The Lynx4MP is a TRL 9 modular 4MP RGB/Monochrome space camera system designed and qualified for space applications. It features precise image capture timing and on-board storage capabilities, with proven flight heritage through multiple space missions. The camera is mechanically compatible with standard CubeSat form factors and has been qualified for thermal vacuum, vibration, and radiation tested up to 40kRad TID. Its backend electronics are customizable and can be combined with different optical assemblies to suit a range of space applications.
Available optical options include:
– **Lynx4MP-10:** Features a 10mm focal length wide-angle ruggedized optical assembly, ideal for space-based space asset monitoring and close proximity applications.
– **Lynx4MP-70:** Features a 70mm ruggedized optical assembly, suitable as an engineering camera, for docking/rendezvous applications, or as a low spatial resolution Earth Observation camera.
– **Lynx4MP-550:** Features a space-grade 550mm focal length optical assembly to support Earth Observation and space-based space surveillance/space domain awareness applications.
The system offers a CMOS Global shutter image sensor with 2048×2048 (4 MP) pixel resolution and 5.5 µm pixel size. It supports RGB Bayer or Monochrome spectral bands and RAW image encoding. On-board storage includes 800 full-resolution images in flash memory and 30 full-resolution images in RAM. Communication and control are handled via UART/RS485 interfaces. The camera operates on a 5 V DC input voltage with a power consumption of 2.75 W. It has an operating temperature range of −10°C to 60°C and is radiation tolerant up to 40 kRad Total Ionizing Dose.
