The growing need for visual sensors in future space missions presents a major challenge for system engineers. Each additional camera or imaging payload requires dedicated interfaces, increasing integration complexity.
The MCAM system addresses these challenges by simplifying the interface between space platforms and multiple cameras, providing a centralized and efficient architecture for multi-camera applications.
The MCAM system enables the integration of multiple cameras through a coherent, centralized solution. Its Camera Control Unit can power and control up to seven IRIS cameras from the 3D PLUS standard portfolio through a single platform interface.
MCAM streamlines multi-payload platforms by consolidating camera control, reducing integration complexity and effort.
As part of 3D PLUS standard portfolio, MCAM provides an efficient, ready-to-use solution for 3D PLUS customers requiring multiple cameras on their platforms.
The MCAM control unit acts as a central hub for the platform’s cameras, routing communication between the On-Board computer and each connected camera.
The MCAM system incorporates an isolated 28V to 5V DC-DC conversion with built-in protection, providing a simplified and optimized way to power all connected cameras directly from the primary bus of the platform.
The MCAM system is designed to interface with 3D PLUS IRIS camera family, offering a broad range of optical and imaging performances to efficiently address diverse mission requirements.
From structural deployment monitoring to navigation and scientific observation, imaging requirements vary significantly depending on the mission profile.
The MCAM solution is designed to support a wide range of applications and missions, including:
With the MCAM system and the IRIS camera family, 3D PLUS pursues a clear goal: providing the space industry with reliable, robust, and innovative imaging solutions.
By combining multiple camera interfaces, centralized control, and integrated power management within a single system, MCAM provides a scalable infrastructure ready to support the imaging needs of next-generation space missions.
