SATLANTIS AND TELEDYNE SPACE IMAGING PARTNER TO DEVELOP COMMERCIAL FEE FOR THE CIS125 TDI DETECTOR

Teledyne Space Imaging and SATLANTIS are pleased to announce their collaboration to develop a commercial space Front-end Electronics (FEE) for the CIS125 TDI detector.

The two companies celebrated their partnership agreement at the Space Tech Expo Europe in Bremen, Germany on the 20th of November.

Teledyne Space Imaging has a long heritage of developing space qualified imaging sensors, focal plane arrays and instrument systems for the world’s foremost space agencies. Since its first launch in 1986, it has partnered with leaders, including NASA, ESA, JAXA, and KARI, collaborating with national research institutions and commercial organisations on over 250 space projects.

SATLANTIS is a top-tier space technology company, specialising in high-resolution Earth observation and universe exploration. Leveraging advanced optical systems, deep expertise in space imaging and cutting-edge electronics, SATLANTIS offers end-to-end satellite solutions within compact, agile platforms. These intelligent, autonomous missions empower customers with exclusive, proprietary data, setting new standards in space technology and data acquisition.

Daniel Waller, VP & GM of Teledyne Space Imaging said: “This collaboration will bring the benefits of a TDI high-reliability detector to the commercial space sector coupled with proven front-end electronics from SATLANTIS. This partnership recognises the synergies we can achieve between Teledyne’s long heritage of detector innovation and the agile design capabilities of SATLANTIS, which will enable us to meet our customer demands for high quality products with commercial lead times.”

Juan Tomas Hernani, CEO of SATLANTIS Group, stated that: “This partnership with Teledyne proves that very high-resolution missions encompass a large digital challenge. Today image digital processing is new to space. Reading out pixels at a very high speed (hundreds of images per second), self-calibrating darks and flats via pixels, being selective at image areas, integrating the applications intimately with the detector capabilities, is the final goal of this leading partnership”.
