[Product Introduction] Jitian Xingzhou Space Target Detection Camera: The Precise "Visual Center" of Spacecraft
2025-06-25
In the field of aerospace optical remote sensing, cameras serve as the core vehicle for data acquisition, and their performance directly determines the quality and application value of remote sensing data.
Leveraging years of expertise in optical technology, the Jitian Xingzhou R&D team has successfully built a comprehensive product portfolio covering a wide range of applications, including Earth observation, deep space exploration, and star-sensing attitude determination. The newly released JTST-5M-02 space target detection camera is a core device tailored for critical missions such as autonomous spacecraft navigation, deep space target acquisition, and precise on-orbit operations. Through its high-precision, real-time space perception and intelligent decision-making closed-loop system, this product seamlessly integrates optical payloads with space operations, becoming a key technological hub for intelligent spacecraft operations.
Three core advantages empower precision space operations.
Submillimeter precision: Clear, full-range imaging from close-range monitoring to deep space exploration.
The JTST-5M-02 space target detection camera, with its exceptional angular resolution exceeding 0.2 mrad, achieves clear, full-range imaging from 20 meters to 50 kilometers.
For close-range rendezvous and docking missions (20 meters to 1 km), the camera provides sub-centimeter relative position measurement accuracy and milliradian-level attitude measurement accuracy, providing reliable optical guidance for the safe docking of satellites, space stations, and cargo spacecraft.
For long-range target acquisition (1 km to 50 km), its powerful spatial resolution effectively identifies cooperative and non-cooperative targets (including defunct satellites and space debris) in complex backgrounds and enables stable tracking, providing real-time, accurate space situational awareness data for autonomous obstacle avoidance and orbital maneuvering decisions.
50-millisecond ultra-fast response: Accurate decision-making in dynamic space environments.
The JTST-5M-02 camera achieves ultra-low latency of just 50 milliseconds from imaging trigger to data download. This groundbreaking performance is primarily due to Jitian Xingzhou's innovative breakthroughs in high-speed image processing architecture and low-latency data transmission technology. This performance is at the mid-to-high-end level for space vision payloads.
Extremely lightweight, weighing 187.9 grams, a "space payload economy revolution."
The JTST-5M-02 camera utilizes an innovative three-dimensional stacked PCB circuit design and a purely transmissive optical architecture. Through sophisticated structural optimization, it achieves exceptional lightweight performance. Even with an extended sunshade, the camera weighs only 187.9 grams (0.27 liters in volume), a weight reduction of over 30% compared to similar products. This groundbreaking design offers dual advantages: significantly reducing launch costs and freeing up valuable payload bay space, enabling the addition of high-value scientific instruments such as spectrometers and particle detectors, thereby improving overall mission efficiency by over 40%. This lightweight solution has been validated in space-grade vibration and thermal vacuum environments, ensuring reliable performance in the harsh space environment.
As a leader in commercial space optical payloads, Jitian Xingzhou consistently prioritizes customer needs for technological innovation. Leveraging years of expertise in optical technology, Jitian Xingzhou has built a comprehensive suite of optical payload technologies and products that meet the demands of diverse applications. The launch of this new generation of solutions not only inherits the Jitian Xingzhou product hallmarks of precision, reliability, and agility, but also demonstrates the research team's deep understanding of and ability to rapidly respond to complex space mission requirements. We sincerely invite commercial aerospace companies and research institutes to collaborate on this technological ecosystem—making every 50-millisecond precision response a solid foundation for technology-enabled development of a space powerhouse.
