About
The Orion12MP is a highly customizable 12 Megapixel RGB/Monochrome camera backend electronics unit that can be combined with application-specific optical assemblies. Unlike standard monitoring cameras, it utilizes a global shutter and 100 FPS capture at full resolution to eliminate motion blur during high-velocity maneuvers, making it suitable for dynamic space environments. For missions prioritizing ultra-low power consumption over high-speed data, the manufacturer offers SelfieCam Video and Leo2MP as TRL 9 alternatives. The Orion12MP is designed leveraging a modular methodology, allowing for customization with different sensors and interface options, which reduces engineering effort and cost. It is suitable for a range of space applications including Earth observation, hyperspectral imaging, space-based space surveillance, and docking/rendezvous, depending on the selected optical assembly. The system has been qualified for thermal vacuum, vibration, and shock. The Orion12MP-550 variant includes a 550mm focal length space-grade optical assembly, specifically supporting Earth observation and space-based space surveillance applications.
