TriScape200

The TriScape200 is a high-resolution RGB and NIR snapshot imager and video camera built by Simera Sense for 12U CubeSat platforms. It is part of the xScape200 family, which shares a common 190 mm aperture, 1067 mm focal length optical chassis across three instrument variants occupying a 311 x 216 x 216 mm volume and a mass of 12.31 kg.^[1]

The instrument uses a 65.4-megapixel CMOS global-shutter detector (9344 x 7000 pixels, 3.2 um pitch) with an RGB Bayer pattern and NIR cut-off filter, covering a spectral range of 450-670 nm across three broad bands. At a reference altitude of 500 km it delivers 1.5 m ground sample distance over a 14 km swath. Data are sampled at 10-bit depth. The sensor is rated to 15 kRad radiation tolerance.^[1]

The TriScape200 supports 1080p30 H.264 video (available as an option) in addition to still-frame snapshot acquisition. Its global shutter avoids the motion smear associated with rolling-shutter architectures, making it suitable for high-rate video capture of ground scenes.^[1]

The sensor's NIR channel centre wavelength and cut-off filter specification are not detailed on the manufacturer product page as of May 2026; only the aggregate spectral range of 450-670 nm is stated.
