Camera System for Earth Observation CubeSat

MicroEye is an imaging 2U system capable of 5.5 meter visible imagery. MicroEye has been designed to be implementable in a standard 2U CubeSat structure together with NSPO’s x-band transmitter and on board computer module. It provides advanced performance with low cost by adopting advanced COTS technology. The compact size suits well for high density packed satellites.
