Kappa Optronics Space Eye SE-320

Emhiser Transmitter

Introduction:

The Space Eye 320 has been designed for use on research rockets, launch vehicles, carrier rockets and satellites. It is being used on sounding rockets, integrated into the rocket's outer hull where it monitors the engine. Compressed data is being transmitted live in Full HD and at high data rates to the ground station.

Cameras operating in space are exposed to especially tough conditions; mechanical stress including shock and vibration, extreme temperature range, and requirements to operate in a vacuum.  The SE-320 has been designed and tested to operate within all these parameters.

The SE-320 generates H.264-compressed video streams directly and does not require an additional encoder. A H.264 high quality / high resolution stream with a high data rate and a H. 264 standard stream with a lower data rate / bandwidth are available on the duel stream.
