The task involved developing the “witness” system for the inaugural flight of Europe’s largest rocket, Ariane-6. The primary challenge was to design a camera system capable of capturing two distinct processes in different directions: the separation of the main fairing and the deployment of the satellite. This camera system had to meet strict ESA requirements and be fully integrable with the YPSAT system, ensuring precise monitoring and documentation of these critical events during the launch.
A dual wide-angle camera system was developed with both electronic and mechanical interfaces, capable of capturing high-resolution imagery (photos and videos) at 12 megapixels. This system was engineered to ensure optimal performance and reliability in documenting key events during the mission.
High-resolution imagery captured from the inaugural launch of the Ariane 6 rocket, providing detailed visual documentation of the event.
