3D PLUS introduces to its US customers the ASTERIA space Camera

3D PLUS introduces to its US customers the ASTERIA space Camera 

From March 23rd to 26th, 3D PLUS attended the SATShow Week in Washington, DC. Julien BEZINE, our Space Cameras Product Line Manager, presented the new ASTERIA Camera to our US customers. With this latest innovation, 3D PLUS continues to expand its space camera portfolio.  This development reflects the company’s focus on creating compact, high-performance imaging solutions for space applications.

 

An Ultra-miniaturized Multipurpose Space Camera

 

ASTERIA embodies the next generation of compact, space-qualified cameras from 3D PLUS, aiming to reach “10x” improvements on most critical aspects of space hardware. Designed with this target in mind, its architecture combines a high-resolution image sensor with advanced electronics, delivering strong imaging performance while optimizing SWaP-C (size, weight, power, and cost). This allows system integrators to greatly enhance their missions capabilities without compromising its budget. ASTERIA is built to answers the needs of exploration, surveillance, observation, and scientific missions, operating in Earth orbit, deep space, and other challenging environments.
