PYXCAM 4600 Module

PYXCAM 4600 Module

PYXCAM 4600 Module is a space module built around our GIGAPYX 4600 SG, the only space-ready sensor combining high resolution, very high speed and high sensitivity. Designed for flexible integration into diverse payload architectures, this configuration supports remote sensor-head placement and simplifies thermal management through thermal decoupling. It is available with 2 image-processing options (including HDR): a snapshot / video mode or a digital TDI mode for pushbroom multispectral imaging. It is space qualified, ready to fly and designed to support an extended in-orbit operational lifetime for reduced mission risks. It is an ITAR-free solution, designed and assembled in France.
