URSA for UV, VUV, EUV, SXR
Flexible architecture for advanced space imaging
URSA is a high-performance imaging system for space applications, built on greateyes’ proven imaging platform architecture with established space heritage from our partnes at XCAM Scientific who are experts in demanding mission environments.
Combining greateyes’ expertise in high-performance imaging and spectroscopy systems with a modular platform concept and XCAM Scientific’s extensive heritage in space imaging, URSA enables reliable system design across a wide range of space imaging applications. The architecture supports flexible configuration, multi-sensor integration, and efficient system-level implementation.
Designed for adaptable mission use, URSA provides a scalable solution for Earth observation, remote sensing, space situational awareness, and scientific missions. With sensor options covering the full visible spectrum through the NIR, UV, VUV, EUV, and extending to Soft X-ray (SXR) photon energies up to 2 keV and beyond, URSA delivers exceptional sensitivity across an extensive photon energy range.
greateyes is renowned for its high-performance scientific-grade cameras, featuring ultra-low-noise electronics and deep cooling technology. This expertise continues in the URSA platform, which combines a scientific CMOS sensor with low-noise electronics and optional deep cooling to ensure optimal detection of weak signals and precise measurement of visible and high-energy photons.
