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.

主机公司 Canadensys 正在开发用于纳米级航天器的相机，该相机可以同时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近地轨道上，或者将摄像机附加到可以前往行星环境、大气层或表面的其他航天器上。从以下角度来看，这种系统很有吸引力：图像采集不需要任何指向或航天器姿态的知识，因为所有方向都是同时感测的。然而，由于不同目标的光谱**辐射范围很大，从科学角度来看，空间**观测环境非常具有挑战性。为了增强此类相机系统的实用性，将在**具有挑战性的照明条件下对相机进行测试，证明相机满足各种**科学任务要求的能力，并使我们能够开发使用的成像和操作策略现场的**摄像机。
