Space application of CCD image sensors
Abstract
Image sensors based on CCD (Charge Coupled Device) technology appear attractive for use in space. This article reviews some applications envisaged for future space projects and attempts to identify the requirements each application will impose on the sensor. Areas are indicated where particular efforts are required to make a CCD sensor compatible with these requirements.
