EMCCD for nanosatellites
Nüvü exclusively offers space compatible EMCCD cameras & readout electronics
nüSpace is an EMCCD camera proximity electronics (CCCP) compatible with small satellites in terms of budget, bass, volume and power consumption.
Designed to be integrated into a 6U nanosatellite in low-Earth orbit, nüSpace EMCCD products enable a wide variety of applications from very long exposures times required for Direct Exoplanet imaging, to very short exposure times required for Adaptive Optics real-time correction.
Space Domain Awareness, Night Time Earth Observation and other space-based applications can also greatly benefits from Nüvü’s sub-electron readout noise.
