Teledyne Introduces Emerald 67M-Based Space Camera Enabled by SDL Licensing Agreement
New high-resolution camera combines SDL-developed sensor electronics technology with Teledyne’s Emerald 67M CMOS image sensor and U.S.-based space imaging manufacturing expertise.
Teledyne Digital Imaging US, Inc., a Teledyne Technologies company, today announced a new high-resolution space-ready camera based on its Emerald™ 67M CMOS image sensor. The camera is enabled by an intellectual property licensing agreement with Space Dynamics Laboratory that gives Teledyne rights to commercialize SDL-developed sensor electronics technology.
The licensed technology includes sensor electronics designs, software, technical data, and related engineering expertise. Teledyne will further develop, manufacture, and support products incorporating the technology for government and commercial customers, pairing SDL’s flight-proven camera development experience with Teledyne’s high-performance imaging sensors and space-grade manufacturing capabilities.
“As a government-sponsored research and development laboratory, technology transition is a central part of SDL’s mission to bridge the gap between innovation and application,” said Dr. Michael Larsen, SDL Senior Program Manager. “Our responsibility is not only to develop new capabilities, but also to transfer technologies to ensure they can be produced and delivered to the organizations that need them.”
