Nüvü’s unique performances, adapted for nanosatellites.
Nüvü offers its patented technology as space compatible cameras & readout electronics.
nüSpace is a cutting-edge camera powered by Nüvü’s proprietary electronics and compatible with small satellites in terms of budget, mass, volume and power consumption. nüSpace is the first space compatible EMCCD solution, but also supports other sensors such as CCDs.
Designed to be integrated into a 6U nanosatellite in low Earth orbit, nüSpace is capable of very long exposure times for ultra-sensitive measures as well as very high acquisition rates for applications line adaptive optics for optical and thermal aberration corrections. This enables a wide range of applications such as space debris imaging, satellite monitoring and exoplanet imaging for discovering the first signs of life on alien worlds.
The low noise and high speed of Nüvü Cameras’ technology make it a perfect fit for Space Domain Awareness, Night Time Earth Observation, and a variety of other space-based applications. nüSpace is the ideal choice for your ambitious space projects requiring high sensitivity imaging.
