Overview

The IRIS Camera family offers standard products targeting a wide range of imaging applications and are designed for space environment. Based on 3D PLUS standard CASPEX 4 Megapixels camera heads family, the IRIS Family provide full camera solutions to the users, associating the sensor and its electronics with space grade optical lenses assemblies and mechanical casing suitable for space environment.

The IRIS Space Cameras embed a standard CASPEX 4 Mpx camera heads with its standard FPGA design providing a SpaceWire Interface to the user. The camera head is shielded by a 5mm thick aluminum standard casing, providing additional radiation shielding to the electronics, as well as an efficient mechanical and thermal interface to the spacecraft. Several standard optical assemblies are available to equip the camera to target a wide range of applications.

The IRIS Space Cameras are generic products, suitable for multiple space applications such as scientific imaging, platform and payload monitoring, startracking or navigation applications, and are already selected for multiple missions covering these applications. The design of their different parts, especially the camera heads, for space environment allows for 3D PLUS Cameras to be used in LEO, GEO or deep-space mission and already benefits from qualification campaigns of multiple missions.
