Spin.Works
High-Resolution VNIR-SWIR Camera (VS1)
VS1 is an advanced hyperspectral camera with VNIR and SWIR channels, and achieving both high resolution (8.5m/pixel @ 500km altitude) and SNR (>100) across the visual spectrum using an exposure extension mechanism developed at Spin.Works. The camera is meant to be used in smallsats that need next-generation capabilities. The camera can acquire images in 99 different colors in the VIS-NIR range (470-1700nm) at a frame rate of up to 100fps.
