GIGAPYX 4600 SG

GIGAPYX 4600 SG is the space-grade version of the GIGAPYX 4600: a radiation-tolerant, high-performance CMOS image sensor for space, from Earth Observation and SSA to demanding scientific missions. This 8K-wide, Full-Frame (35 mm) sensor combines high resolution (46 Megapixels), very high frame rate (200 fps in 8K) and high-sensitivity BSI technology. Available in monochrome, colour (RGB Bayer) or multispectral version, it is compatible with different imaging modes (snapshot, step-and-stare, pushbroom or pushframe). It is a European sovereign solution.
