Essex-based e2v, a manufacturer of specialised components and subsystems, has won a contract to supply imaging sensors for the Indian Space Research Organisation’s (ISRO) new satellites.
The ISRO’s Space Application Centre will use e2v’s charged coupled devices (CCD) to build the Resourcesat 3 and Cartosat 3 satellites.
e2v’s time delay integration (TDI) CCD has anti-blooming functions and back thinning post processing to produce high-resolution images and enable applications that require high speed and high sensitivity; for example, to aid in disaster support.
The Cartosat 3 will have a single multi-spectral camera, while the Resourcesat 3 will employ three cameras: a LISS 4, LISS 3 and a multi-spectral camera. The LISS 4 and LISS 3 cameras will have 2.5m and 5m resolution respectively, and the multi-spectral camera will have a resolution of 1m in panchromatic mode and 2m in multi-spectral mode.
e2v specialises in developing electronic tubes and sensors and semiconductors for medical and scientific, aerospace and defence, and commercial and industrial applications.
AI-generated medical responses need monitoring, study finds
This would negate most of the benefit of using AI in the first place, rather like the Locomotive Act 1865 that required any self-propelled road...
