The MVP KissCAM is a miniature, low-cost, 1.2 megapixel camera for satellites. It is designed for small size, ease of use and rapid integration, making it ideal for use as an engineering inspection camera or simple CubeSat payload.
KissCAM features an M12 lens mount, making it compatible with a wide variaety of stock or user-supplied lenses. KissCAM has a simple RS422/RS485 command and telemetry interface, and can be powered from 3.3 to 5V. More than 20 KissCAMs have been supplied to date to university CubeSat missions, commercial satellite builders, and payload developers.
Despite its small size (38 x 20 x 18 mm) and mass (10 g), KissCAM features all glass and metal optics. A low-profile, wide-angle lens is fitted as stock, but the aluminium s-mount lens holder allows compatibility with a wide variety of commercial M12 lenses.
