Lockheed Completes 2nd Imaging System for Weather Satellite
Lockheed Martin Corp. has delivered a second lightning-monitoring camera to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) for use on its next-generation weather monitoring satellite. The instrument features a 500-fps, 1.8-MP focal plane, integrated with low-noise electronics and specialized optics to detect weak lightning signals against bright, sunlit cloud backgrounds.

Camera Overcomes Redshift for Astronomical Imaging
Upgraded light sensors have enabled a camera to image outer space at red wavelengths that are too red for the human eye to see. Due to an effect known as redshift, very distant astronomical objects appear much redder when observed on Earth. The camera’s sensitivity to red light enables it to detect objects many billions of light years away.

A wireless capsule with fluorescence imaging capabilities could be swallowed by patients to aid in detection of cancers of the throat and gut. The University of Glasgow capsule incorporated a CMOS single-photon avalanche detector imaging array, miniaturized optical isolation, wireless technology and low-power design. Emitting low-level 468-nm illumination, it consumed 30.9 mW.

The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) has awarded Neptec Design Group Ltd. of Ottowa, Ontario, a contract to design a vision system for inspection and maintenance of the International Space Station (ISS). The system, which will be launched in 2020, will use a combination of three sensors: a 3D lidar system, an HD camera and an IR camera.
