About
NuSCIS is a compact imaging payload for SmallSats and CubeSats designed to capture and process high-quality images from space. Its modular architecture supports multiple sensor types (Teledyne e2v, CMOSIS, Fairchild families including CMOS, CCD, and EM-CCD) with optional thermal control for low-light imaging applications, and is qualified for the space radiation environment with latch-up mitigation.
