CMOS microcamera for space applications (3DCM681)

3D PLUS has developed in the framework of R and D activities an advanced CMOS camera for Space applications. The Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), also called French space agency, is leading the developement of this camera, see Figure 1. This instrument has been integrated using the 3D PLUS technology in order to be as compact as possible. Particular attention has been paid to ensure a good radiation tolerance to cover a wide range of scientific applications such as planetology, but also platform or launcher monitoring and star trackers.
