Custom & space
A modular scientific imaging platform for mission-specific space instruments, developed with XCAM Scientific.

From photon to signal
URSA is configured for the mission. The manufacturer specifies sensor choices and a modular platform rather than one universal QE curve, pixel grid or read-noise value. Response, electronics and thermal performance must be defined for the selected flight configuration.
