"Two Canadian companies are helping with NASA’s new telescope, officially launched in Cape Canaveral, Florida, earlier today."
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, NASA’s infrared observatory launched on August 30, 2026, will help scientists study planets beyond our solar system using ultra-sensitive camera electronics developed by Nüvü Camēras and manufactured by ABB.
"NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launched successfully Sunday, lifting off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket at 7:26 a.m. EDT. Tucked inside it is a secondary experiment, built in part with Canadian cameras, that will test technology that could one day help answer one of humanity’s oldest questions: are we alone in the universe?"
"NASA's next major space observatory is equipped with high-precision imaging technology designed and manufactured by two Quebec-based companies."
"In the Scalable Qubit Array Detection for Rydberg Quantum Computers project, quantum computing companies Infleqtion and Riverlane will collaborate with imaging systems specialists Nüvü Camēras to develop systems to greatly improve the readout of the status of the qubits."
Pioneers in bringing EMCCD technology to space, Nüvü cameras unveiled their current project: nüSpace.
nüSpace is a camera platform compatible with small satellites in terms of budget, bass, volume and power consumption. It is built for compatibility with a variety of sensors & technologies, including EMCCD, a newly space-qualified technology. It also contains Nüvü's patented controller design for lower background noise for unmatched low-light imaging performances.
Photonics Spectra magazine’s March edition features a Nüvü Camēras signed article on the unique method and advantages of EMCCD imaging technology for detecting and monitoring space debris.

"How does a student project turn into a partnership with NASA?
A look back at the journey of Olivier Daigle, whose camera has earned a spot aboard the future Roman Space Telescope."
On June 29, 2021, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) awarded Nüvü Camēras a contribution as part of the Space Technology Development Program to develop an EMCCD exoplanet imaging solution compatible with nanosatellite systems.
