Earth Observation

Teledyne Space Imaging has a long history in enabling Earth Observation (EO) missions for ESA, NASA, JAXA and other space agencies to acquire observations of the Earth's surface and atmosphere via remote sensing instruments. New aerospace technologies are increasing remote sensing and digital data collection in Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and are currently expanding the operation field lower down to airborne platforms. With an eye to new technology trends, the rapidly evolving High Altitude Pseudo Satellites (HAPS) market fuels Teledyne Space Imaging's current development of next generation product platforms.

Living Planet Sciences

Teledyne Space Imaging has a deep heritage in enabling Earth Observation (EO) missions critical to understanding the Earth system and its processes in the context of global climate change. Teledyne has worked with the living planet programmes of both NASA and ESA since the 1980s, which has directed technological image sensor development to meet these goals specifically.

Teledyne Space Imaging’s sensor portfolio for living planet passive imagery covers the complete range of imaging techniques in the visible spectrum including panchromatic, multi-spectral, pan-sharpened and hyper-spectral. Specialist X-ray, ultraviolet (UV), and infrared solutions are also available.

With a complete portfolio in CCD devices and an ever-expanding range of front and backside illuminated radiation hardened CMOS detectors, you can be sure we can supply you with the solution for your mission that meets the spectral, data, functionality, cost and power requirements of the remote sensing instrument.
