Opening Insights Engineering cameras have become an indispensable component in modern space missions, serving as critical instruments for visual feedback. These systems provide invaluable support in environments where real-time human intervention is limited or absent. In the harsh conditions of space, where communication delays can hinder timely decision-making, engineering cameras supplement traditional telemetry with visual […]

Opening Insights Engineering cameras are those that provide data on satellite platform performance, such as the state of deployables, or the progress of a rendezvous maneuver. The requirements for these engineering cameras typically differ from those of prime payload cameras.   Engineering Cameras: Minimizing Platform Demands Firstly, satellite buses are often designed around, or tailored […]
