piCAM/FM (Flight Model)
Space-Friendly™ Digital CubeSat Camera
Do you plan to fly a satellite to space? Take the Digital CubeSat Camera with you! To capture images of the Earth, Moon, Mars, Venus..., two docking satellites, orientation towards the local horizon, deployable antennas or a solar sail... or anything else you want to see downloaded on the screen of your Groundstation soon!
For the first time in the New Space history you can also use the external LED Flashlight control signal to illuminate the deployment process in dark periods of orbit. Save time with coding, the module utilize UART interface and easy-to-parse JPEG format with ASCII lines terminated with CR+LF. And... you need only 3.3V bus to power it!
Pick up lenses fitting the needs of your project from the Narrow Field-of-View down to the wide Fish Eye sight! There are 6 different FoV optics options you can freely choose from.

piCAM/EM (Engineering Model)
Do you plan to fly a camera to space with your new satellite project? Grab the Digital CubeSat Camera Engineering Model to the development table or Flat Sat design. And just make your dream come true! Validate the Field of View requirements of selected optics as well as required focal distance to be set for the Flight Model well before the flight with piCAM/EM!
The Engineering Model offers a full capability of capturing images, including telemetry and telecommand set as in the case of the Flight Model. Limited temperature range and utilization of fully commercial parts allow to deliver the piCAM/EM at reduced pricing, reducing satellite development risk and cost.
