Small Business Innovation Research/Small Business Tech Transfer
Longwave Imaging for Astronomical Applications, Phase I
Project Introduction
We propose to develop a compact portable longwave camera for astronomical applications. In Phase 1, we will develop and deliver the focal plane array (FPA) - a crucial camera component. In Phase 2, we will integrate the FPA with electronics and optics into a compact package and deliver the resulting camera to NASA for field testing.
