Comtech AeroAstro's Miniature Imager design is a small, low power (less than 2W) space camera with a versatile, customizable firmware. Based upon the hardware configuration of our Miniature Star Tracker, the imager has a 24 × 30 degree field of view and consumes 1W nominal power in a mass of only 375g. The Miniature Imager is available in a low-cost commercial-off-the-shelf version tolerant up to 30 krad and can be modified for higher radiation tolerance. Images can be downloaded for ground processing and custom code can be incorporated. Built-in test includes the ability to upload images and verify performance.
Miniature Imager History
The Comtech AeroAstro Miniature Imager is a spin-off product of our Star Tracker product line. Initially developed with support from the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the first imager sits at the core of the Threat Detection System (TDS). TDS, a Department of Defense Space Experiments Review Board (SERB) experiment, launched in 2010 as part of FASTSAT on S26, a Minotaur IV rocket. TDS is one of several applications, particularly in the area of Space Situational Awareness, that are well suited to the Miniature Imager’s capabilities.
