The extended family of 3D PLUS space cameras offers efficient and simple solutions for observation applications such as Earth observation, debris detection and tracking or spacecraft situational awareness (SSA).

Through the experience of our supplier 3D PLUS with space camera heads, existing optics and mechanical assemblies, we can offer you a modular building block system that enables a solution with multiple configurations to meet the requirements of any space missions. This modular approach has already made it possible to be part of programs such as Mars Sample Return (NASA), Mars Moon eXploration Rover (JAXA/CNES/DLR) and many other future missions.
