About
The TriScape50 is an Earth Observation camera engineered for easy integration into 3U or 6U CubeSats. It provides real-time HD video capabilities, enabling efficient capture of changes on Earth. The imager is built to cover large areas of the planet rapidly. Key features include a Ground Sample Distance (GSD) of 30 meters at 500 km altitude, a 120 km Swath at 500 km, and a 12.6 MP HD resolution. It occupies a 1U volume and supports 1080p30 video. The spectral range is 450–670 nm. Technical specifications detail a focal length of 93.9 mm, an aperture of 11.75 mm, and a full field of view of 13.68° x 10.28°. It supports both snapshot and video configurations, utilizing CMOS global shutter sensor technology with a resolution of 4096 x 3072 pixels and a pixel size of 5.5 µm. The pixel depth is 10 bit, and it features an RGB Bayer Pattern spectral filter with NIR cut-off. The camera includes 128 Gigabyte EDAC-protected NAND Flash for storage. Image reduction options include binning of RAW data and optional CCSDS 122.0-B-2 Lossy/Lossless compression, with thumbnailing for image preview. Control interface options are I²C, SPI, RS-422, and SpaceWire (ECSS-E-ST-50-12C). Data interface options are LVDS and SpaceWire (ECSS-E-ST-50-12C). It operates on a 5VDC (±5%), 1.8A power supply. The camera’s volume is 120.5 mm x 95.88 mm x 90.17 mm, and its mass is 0.51 (±5%) kg. It is designed for an operating temperature range of -10°C to +50°C and is fully functional to 15 kRad radiation.
