The host company, Canadensys, is in the process of developing cameras for nano-class spacecraft that sense the**entire hemisphere around them at once, known as NICS-C. Such nano-class spacecraft may be deployed in low**earth orbit, or the cameras may be appended to other spacecraft that could travel to planetary environments,**atmospheres or surfaces. Such a system is appealing from the perspective that no knowledge of pointing or**spacecraft attitude is required for image acquisition as all directions are sensed simultaneously. However, space**observing environments are very challenging from a scientific perspective due to the large range in spectral**radiance of different targets. To enhance the utility of such a camera system, testing of the cameras under**challenging illumination conditions will be performed, demonstrating the ability of the cameras to meet various**scientific mission requirements and allow us to develop imaging and operational strategies for the use of the**cameras in the field.

主办公司Canadensys正在开发用于纳米级航天器的摄像头，这种摄像头可以立即感知周围的整个半球，称为NICS-C。这种纳米级航天器可以部署在低地球轨道上，或者相机可以附加到其他航天器上，这些航天器可以前往行星环境，大气层或表面。这样的系统是有吸引力的角度来看，没有知识的指向或 ** 航天器的姿态是需要的图像采集，因为所有方向的同时感测。然而，由于不同目标的光谱辐射范围很大，从科学的角度来看，空间观测环境是非常具有挑战性的。为了提高这种照相机系统的实用性，将在 ** 具有挑战性的照明条件下对照相机进行测试，以证明照相机满足各种 ** 科学使命要求的能力，并使我们能够为在实地使用 ** 照相机制定成像和操作策略。
