Components for customised systems
Space exploration demands absolute reliability.
From the violent acoustic and vibrational forces of launch, to the extreme thermal and radiation environments of orbit, spacecraft instrumentation must survive and perform flawlessly. XCAM Scientific develops advanced imaging systems and contamination monitoring instruments that help satellite manufacturers, launch providers, and mission teams capture critical data, improve mission assurance, and accelerate development cycles.
With decades of expertise in advanced imaging, XCAM Scientific delivers space-ready solutions that are ruggedised, configurable, and flight-ready – built for missions ranging from CubeSats to major space.
From Earth observation to deep-space exploration, XCAM Scientific’s advanced imaging technologies power missions across the space sector, delivering reliable, high-performance data in some of the most demanding environments.
Imaging systems provide vital data on Earth’s land, oceans, and atmosphere, supporting environmental monitoring, disaster assessment, and climate research.
Imaging enables tracking of satellites and debris, improving orbital safety and
supporting proximity operations and collision avoidance.
Imagers on sounding rockets capture high-resolution, real-time data of atmospheric and space phenomena during brief suborbital flights, enabling scientists to study dynamic processes inaccessible from ground-based instruments or satellites.
Post-launch imaging verifies the deployment of solar panels, antennas, and other systems, ensuring the spacecraft is functioning properly while in orbit.
Low-light Earth observation imagers detect faint natural or artificial illumination, enabling night-time studies of atmospheric processes, urban lighting, ocean bioluminescence, and environmental changes that are invisible to standard daylight imaging systems.
High-resolution cameras and detectors support contamination monitoring during and after launch, inspection, repair, assembly, and other precision tasks carried out in the space environment.
Imaging across x-ray to near-IR
wavelengths support navigation and scientific analysis of planetary surfaces and environments.
Low-cost, flight-ready imaging payloads give students and researchers hands-on experience collecting real space-based data.
In rendezvous and proximity operations, imagers provide precise visual data for navigation, object tracking, and distance estimation, enabling safe docking, collision avoidance, and autonomous manoeuvring between spacecrafts in close quarters.
During Entry, Descent, and Landing, imagers capture real-time terrain and environmental data, guiding navigation, hazard detection, and landing site selection to ensure safe, precise touchdown of spacecrafts on planetary surfaces.
