Arecont Vision Deploys Megapixel Surveillance Camera on SpaceX Dragon Spacecraft

05/30/2015 News Articles

Published by SourceSecurity.com

Arecont Vision®, the industry leader in IP-based megapixel camera technology, is providing video surveillance cameras for SpaceX, a private company that designs, manufactures, and launches advanced rockets and spacecraft for NASA and other organizations. The high performance megapixel cameras from Arecont Vision® are being deployed on the SpaceX Dragon spacecraft, which is utilised by NASA to deliver supplies and science experiments to the International Space Station.

“We are honored to play a role in enabling the development of new technologies and capabilities for the extremely demanding realm of space,” said Raul Calderon, Senior Vice President, Arecont Vision®. “The SpaceX project utilizes the same IP megapixel technology and architecture we deliver every day in our video surveillance cameras, albeit with custom firmware, which is further testimony to the performance and quality of our products.”

The SpaceX Dragon is the first commercial spacecraft to deliver cargo to the International Space Station and safely return cargo to Earth. The innovative spacecraft includes a non-pressurized cargo area, which is referred to as the trunk, to carry large science experiments to be conducted on the space station. Once the SpaceX Dragon is berthed to the orbiting space station, the station’s robotic arm reaches into the trunk to extract and position cargo.

The space station’s robotic arm was already fitted with cameras and illuminators, but NASA required a better view of the interior of Dragon’s trunk. SpaceX turned to Arecont Vision® to utilize the company’s core imaging technologies found in Arecont Vision’s® megapixel surveillance cameras. For optimum integration with the spacecraft, SpaceX designed specialized housing and mounts for the cameras, and Arecont Vision® custom programmed the cameras to be compatible with existing NASA systems.

SpaceX plans to install Arecont Vision® camera systems in upcoming Dragon spacecraft carrying cargo to the space station. A minimum of eight such missions are planned moving forward.
