A multispectral or thermal imager comprising a lens assembly, an array of IC chips that is arranged in a field of view of the lens assembly, and a filter assembly comprising one or more wavelength filters. The filter assembly comprises a respective wavelength filter for at least one of the three or more rows of IC chips. At least one wavelength filter is transparent in a portion of a wavelength range that passes through the lens assembly. The filter assembly is configured such that radiation of the same wavelength range passes to the rows of IC chips in the pair of non-adjacent rows, and such that the wavelength range that passes to the rows in the pair of non-adjacent rows is different from a wavelength range that passes to the one or more rows other than the pair of non-adjacent rows.

Uncooled thermal imager

A multispectral or thermal imager comprising a lens assembly, an array of IC chips that is arranged in a field of view of the lens assembly, each IC chip comprising an array of thermopile devices, and a filter assembly comprising one or more wavelength filters. The filter assembly comprises a respective wavelength filter for at least one of the three or more rows of IC chips. At least one wavelength filter is transparent in a portion of a wavelength range that passes through the lens assembly. The filter assembly is configured such that radiation of the same wavelength range passes to the rows of IC chips in the pair of non-adjacent rows, and such that the wavelength range that passes to the rows in the pair of non-adjacent rows is different from a wavelength range that passes to the one or more rows other than the pair of non-adjacent rows.

Embodiments described herein include a satellite cover panel for covering a satellite, particularly a payload bay of a satellite comprising an energy storage module, at least one energy generating module defining, at least partially, a first outer surface of the satellite cover panel, and a logic board defining, at least partially, a second outer surface of the satellite cover panel, wherein the first outer surface and the second outer surface face away from each other and from the energy storage module.

Satellite cover panel

The invention discloses an apparatus for measuring the torsion between a first point () and a second point () of a test object (), said second point being spaced apart from the first point. The apparatus comprises the following: a source of polarized light, comprising a polarizing light source () that emits polarized light, or a polarizer () that is connected to a light source () by way of an optical feed; a first optical fibre () that is optically connected to the Output of the polarizing light source () or to the Output of the polarizer () and that is fastened to the test object () at the first point () and at the second point () in such a way that a torsion of the test object about a torsion axis causes a change in the angle of rotation of the first optical fibre from the first point in relation to the second point, and a second polarization-maintaining optical fibre (), that is connected to the first optical fibre () at the second point () or downstream of the second point () in relation to the light path Coming from the source, for supplying the light to a measuring device (), wherein the distance between the first point () and the second point () of the test object () is greater than or equal to 5 metres, or greater than or equal to 7 metres, or greater than or equal to 10 metres, and the first optical fibre () comprises a non-polarization-maintaining, bending-insensitive fibre.
